Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: Specialist support for sole traders & landlords

From April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for Income Tax) will require sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000 to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC, replacing the annual Self Assessment. This marks a significant change in how those impacted manage and report their tax affairs, but with the right support, it doesn’t need to feel overwhelming.
 
At Azets, we know how demanding it is to run a business. That’s why we combine expert advice with smart technology to help you stay compliant, reduce admin, and stay focused on growth.
