Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: When Will It Affect Me?

HMRC are beginning the process of phasing in taxpayers who are self-employed or with income from property over a number of years, so you may be wondering ‘When Will It Affect Me?’.
The limits will be calculated from your latest Self Assessment Tax Return so the current tax year ending 5th April 2025! If you haven’t completed your tax return yet, please get in touch.
If you are recently self employed or in receipt of income from property (including foreign property), the mandating will only begin after the completion of your first Self Assessment Tax Return.
HMRC will not sign clients up to Making Tax Digital for Income Tax automatically so it’s important to do it in time and be ready!!
