HMRC has revealed that 436,000 taxpayers submitted their first quarterly MTD for Income Tax update by the 7 August deadline.

But with more than 570,000 taxpayers registered by 12 August – compared with HMRC’s estimate of around 864,000 who would need to sign up – thousands still have action to take.

HMRC will begin signing up taxpayers who haven’t registered themselves from September.

With the rules extending to those earning over £30,000 from April 2027, now is the time to check whether MTD applies to you.

From April 2027, pensions will come into the scope of Inheritance Tax, potentially exposing some pension pots to tax at up to 40%.

As a result, more people may consider lifetime gifting to reduce a future IHT bill.

Options include the £3,000 annual allowance, small gifts, wedding gifts and potentially exempt transfers.

However, each comes with its own rules and potential tax traps.

Self-employed individuals and landlords with qualifying income above £30,000 in 2025–26 can now apply for a Making Tax Digital (MTD) exemption if they are digitally excluded.

HMRC has confirmed that exemptions are primarily available where it is not reasonable for someone to use compatible software to keep digital records and submit their required updates.

The £30,000 income threshold comes into MTD for Income Tax from 6 April 2027, while those earning over £50,000 are already required to comply.

Not everyone will qualify, and simply finding MTD time-consuming, costly or unfamiliar is not enough to secure an exemption.

Could you save up to £2,000 per child on childcare?

HMRC is reminding working parents about Tax-Free Childcare, which could help eligible families with the cost of nurseries, childminders, holiday clubs and more.

The scheme provides £2 for every £8 paid in, up to £2,000 a year per child — or £4,000 for a disabled child.

The Autumn Budget 2026 will be presented on 28 October 2026.

The Chancellor says the Budget will focus on providing businesses and families with greater stability, while continuing to meet the government’s fiscal rules.

We’ll be sharing key updates and insights as details emerge.

HMRC has announced that it will begin automatically signing up taxpayers to Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax from September 2026.

The move will affect sole traders and landlords who are required to use MTD but have not yet registered for the 2026/27 tax year. HMRC says the automatic sign-ups will take place in stages over the coming months.

More than 570,000 sole traders and landlords have already signed up, but with around 864,000 taxpayers expected to fall within the first MTD cohort, approximately 294,000 have yet to register.

HMRC is encouraging those who have not yet signed up to do so themselves rather than waiting to be contacted. Registering in advance means taxpayers can check that their details are correct and get set up with compatible software in their own time.

Need help signing up for MTD for Income Tax? It’s not too late. Get in touch with us today at quove.co.uk or on 01284 845123.
