Making Tax Digital is coming. A real person will handle it.
HMRC is replacing the annual self-assessment return with quarterly digital reporting. We set it up and file it for you — no new software to learn, just one qualified accountant who knows your name.
Chartered Accountants & Registered Auditors
One tax return a year becomes four updates a quarter.
Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax means keeping digital records and sending HMRC an update every three months, plus a final declaration — instead of a single return each January.
For a lot of self-employed people that sounds like more admin, more deadlines, and unfamiliar software. It doesn’t have to be yours to worry about.
- A named, qualified accountant handles every quarterly filing
- We deal with the MTD software — you don’t learn a new system
- Straight answers by phone or email, never a ticket queue

The things people ask us first
What is Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?
It’s HMRC’s move from one annual self-assessment return to keeping digital records and sending a quarterly update, followed by a final year-end declaration. It changes how and when you report — not necessarily how much tax you pay.
When does it affect me?
It’s phased in by income. Over £50,000 of self-employment or property income: from April 2026. £30,000–£50,000: from April 2027. £20,000–£30,000: from April 2028. The earlier you prepare, the smoother the switch.
Do I have to buy and learn new software?
MTD does require compatible digital record-keeping — but that’s our job, not yours. As a Xero Certified practice we put the right setup in place and run it for you, so there’s no new system for you to master.
I’ve never had an accountant. Is this overkill?
Not at all. Plenty of our clients handled their own self-assessment for years and simply don’t want to take on quarterly filing themselves. A qualified point of contact who knows your situation is exactly what MTD makes worthwhile.
You’re remote — does that work?
Yes. We work with clients right across the UK. Everything happens by call, email and secure file sharing, so where you’re based makes no difference to the service you get.
What does it cost?
It depends on your situation — income, records, and how much you’d like us to handle. Pricing is fixed and agreed up front. The free review is where we understand your needs and give you a clear, honest figure. No obligation.
Prefer we call you?
Leave your name and number and a chartered accountant will call you back — usually the same working day. No obligation, no pressure.
