Making Tax Digital for Income Tax - Simple Support for Self Employed

What is MTD for Income Tax (ITSA)?

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD ITSA) is HMRC’s way of modernising tax reporting for self-employed businesses. From April 2026, most self-employed individuals with profits above £50,000 will need to keep digital records and submit income tax updates online.

 

I help you understand what MTD ITSA means for your business and guide you through the process, so you’re fully compliant without the stress.
