Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax is coming!

With less than four months until the first sole traders and small private landlord need to comply, the clock is ticking.

If you're one of the 780,000 that will be affected in the first wave, you need to check what you need to do to comply and get ready now. Compliance is not optional!

Not sure if you're affected? DROP ME AN EMAIL OR DIRECT MESSAGE.

After a lot of quiet work behind the scenes, I’ve launched something new.

MTD ITSA Made Simple Self-Paced Course is now live.

It’s designed for sole traders and landlords who:
• are being brought into Making Tax Digital
• use spreadsheets (not accounting software)
• want to understand what HMRC actually expects — without the overwhelm

This isn’t about selling fear or forcing software.
It’s about clarity, confidence, and knowing what you need to do (and when).

If you’ve had a letter from HMRC and thought
“Right… I don’t really understand this” — this is for you.

If you think this maybe of interest to someone you know please share the post or the link. Thank you.

This won’t be for everyone — and that’s okay.

But if you like things simple, practical, and explained in plain English, you’ll feel right at home.

✔ Set up the right software

📣 MTD ITSA is back in the news — and it’s a big change for self-employed business owners.

From April 2026, quarterly digital submissions to HMRC will be mandatory.

The good news? You don’t need to panic — but you *do* need to prepare.

At Blu Bookkeeping, we already use digital tools that make the transition smooth, simple and stress-free.
