Making Tax Digital
Made Simple
HMRC's Making Tax Digital (MTD) requires all VAT-registered businesses to keep digital records and submit returns using compatible software. Invoice Guru is fully MTD-compliant and ready.
What Is Making Tax Digital?
HMRC's flagship initiative to modernise the UK tax system.
The Problem MTD Solves
Every year, HMRC estimates that billions of pounds in tax revenue are lost due to avoidable errors — many caused by manual data entry and paper records. Making Tax Digital is HMRC's response to this problem.
MTD requires businesses to keep digital records and submit tax information using HMRC-recognised software, reducing errors and making tax administration more efficient for everyone.
Who Does MTD Affect?
- All VAT-registered businesses (already in force)
- Self-employed individuals earning over £50,000 (from April 2026)
- Self-employed individuals earning over £30,000 (from April 2027)
- Landlords with property income above thresholds
- Eventually — all sole traders and limited companies
