Making Tax Digital for income tax (MTD IT) will become mandatory for many sole traders and landlords from 6 April 2026. It will change how you keep records and report income, and it will affect the way you plan your cashflow and manage deadlines. The timetable and thresholds are now confirmed, and the Autumn Budget 2025 has added some easements to the penalty regime rather than delaying the start date.
This guide explains who must join in April 2026, what MTD IT actually involves, and the practical steps to take now so you are ready before the 2025/26 tax year ends.
This guide breaks down the main options for the 2025/26 tax year and explains the key thresholds that tend to shape decisions. It is designed as a practical reference you can come back to when you are planning the year ahead, topping up income, or thinking about longer-term savings. Where it helps, we flag the points that usually need a quick check before you act.
