Questions before you save your seat
No. It’s a practical guide to MTD that’s useful whatever software or accountant you use. We’ll spend a couple of minutes at the end on how Hnry can help, and that’s it.
Very likely. The threshold drops to £30,000 in April 2027 and £20,000 in April 2028. It’s based on turnover, not profit, so you could be closer than you think.
Not right away. You’ll file one Self Assessment return first, then HMRC checks your turnover and tells you if and when to sign up.
You’ll keep separate digital records and send separate quarterly updates for each income type. They all pull through into one tax return.
No. All four quarterly updates have to be sent before your final return can go in, and HMRC expects them to reasonably match your real records.
Digital-exclusion exemptions exist for age, disability, health, location or religious belief. Some are automatic and some you apply for. Check gov.uk if this might be you.
