FAQs
Absolutely! Free access to our MTD-compliant digital bookkeeping software, Pandle Pro, is included as standard in all our accountancy packages too, so you’ll be able to use this to manage your record-keeping and send your own quarterly updates throughout the year.
You don’t have to use Pandle if you don’t want to! If you do use Pandle, our bookkeeping team will carry out proactive record checks at no extra cost.
You’ll need to keep financial records like you normally would, showing all the income and expenses relating to your self-employed business or property income.
These must be kept digitally, using software that’s compliant with MTD. We provide all our clients with Pandle Pro as part of our standard service, but you’re welcome to use other software if you prefer.
HMRC will only see a summary of each relevant income and expense category – they won’t receive the details of each individual digital record.
Yes, you can make adjustments and even resubmit updates if you need to.
Yes, you can ask your accountant to help you with Making Tax Digital. An accountant can take care of the entire process, or you can make quarterly updates yourself and then have your accountant finalise everything and submit your final tax return.
It came into effect from 6th April 2026 for sole traders and landlords whose annual turnover is more than £50,000. The threshold reduces to £30,000 from April 2027, and again to £20,000 from April 2028.
You can voluntarily follow the rules now, as long you’re a UK resident who is registered for Self Assessment. You must be a sole trader with income from only one business, or a landlord who only has UK property (or both!).
Once you start using MTD Income Tax, you’ll send quarterly updates to report your qualifying self-employment and property income to HMRC throughout the year.
After your last quarterly update, you’ll need a final MTD Income Tax Return which includes all your income and expenses – not just the details in your quarterly updates.
If you don’t need to use MTD Income Tax, you won’t need to send quarterly updates, and you’ll just carry on submitting a Self Assessment tax return as usual.
MTD Income Tax is only mandatory for those whose income from property or being a sole trader is above the threshold. Any other income you might get, such as from dividends or if you take a salary from your own company, won’t be used to work out your qualifying income.
If you need to use MTD IT because you have other qualifying income, you’ll submit quarterly updates about your sole trader or property income, and then add the details of any other earnings to your tax return after making your final quarterly submission.

Callum from The Accountancy Partnership recently filed my year-end accounts and made the whole process really straightforward. Callum was excellent throughout - clear, helpful and efficient, and he made everything feel simple from start to finish. A very smooth experience and I’d happily recommend him to anyone looking for reliable accountancy support.
Ben Chetham
As a first-year sole trader, I was a little unsure about the accounting side of things, but James has been incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to guide me through everything, making it much less stressful than I expected.
Hayley Crean
Kieran McCann provided outstanding support in helping me file my corporation tax return within an extremely tight timeframe. The last-minute situation was entirely my own fault, but Kieran remained calm, professional, and incredibly responsive throughout the process. Thanks to his efficiency and dedication, we managed to meet the deadline and avoid what would likely have been a fine. He was always responsible, supportive, and available whenever I needed guidance.

What you need to submit for Making Tax Digital
Our sole trader accounting services start from £24.50 per month and include either your final MTD Income Tax Return or Self Assessment depending on which you need, at no additional cost.
Anyone using MTD Income Tax must also send quarterly updates about their income and expenses. You can submit these updates yourself for free, using MTD-compliant software like Pandle – which you’ll receive as part of your accounting service. Then your accountant will take care of any adjustments at the end of the year when they submit your final MTD Income Tax Return.
Do I need to use MTD Income Tax?
Not everyone will need to use MTD Income Tax – or at least not straight away! Your eligibility is based on your total sole trader and/or rental income (not just profits).
Anyone whose total combined income from self-employment and/or property is more than £50,000 had to start using it from 6th April 2026, but the thresholds will reduce over the coming years.
