Making Tax Digital for Sole Traders

ITSA in line with the new MTD rules made easy, with our holistic service solution

The landscape for self-employed professionals is undergoing its most significant transformation in a generation. With HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative, the traditional “annual rush” to file a CIS return is being replaced by a requirement for real-time, digital record-keeping. 

At ADVANCE, we possess the technical authority and industry expertise to ensure that sole traders aren’t just “compliant,” but are actively ahead of the curve.

We’ve created a solution to act as a digital bridge, translating complex HMRC requirements into a straightforward, manageable process that keeps you on-site and out of the paperwork.

Who is effected by the Making Tax Digital requirements?

MTD for Income Tax applies to sole traders and landlords who have a combined annual gross income from business or property that exceeds specific thresholds.

At ADVANCE, we help you determine exactly when you need to switch to digital reporting based on your current earnings. To assess your eligibility, HMRC reviews your previous Self-Assessment returns; if your total qualifying income (before expenses) hits the following markers, you are legally required to comply:

April 2026

Mandatory for those with an annual qualifying income over £50,000.

April 2027

The threshold expands to include those earning over £30,000.

April 2028

Coverage further extends to those with an income over £20,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We are here to help.

Here are a few of our most frequently asked questions.

Does MTD mean I have to pay my tax four times a year?

Not necessarily. While MTD requires quarterly updates to HMRC, the actual payment deadlines for your tax liability generally remain the same.

HMRC is increasingly moving toward a penalty-based system for non-compliance with digital standards. By partnering with ADVANCE, you mitigate this risk.

Absolutely. If your digital records are currently a bit “analogue” (or perhaps residing in a glovebox), our team can help migrate your historical data into a secure digital format. It’s the perfect way to wipe the slate clean and start your MTD journey on a professional footing.

Actually, it should make it significantly easier. Because we have been collecting and digitally verifying your data all year, the final “End of Period Statement” becomes a simple confirmation of the figures we’ve already tracked. It turns a week-long headache into a five-minute review.

Our MTD plans cover any and all support. You can call us and ask any questions anytime during our operating hours of 8:30am -5:30pm Monday to Friday.
