Since April 2022, all VAT-registered businesses have been required to operate Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT. This followed a phased rollout of MTD for VAT which began in 2019.

MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment will be introduced from April 2026, with businesses, self-employed individuals and landlords with income over £50,000 required to join first. Those with incomes between £30,000 and £50,000 will need to use MTD from April 2027.
