Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is now live - and if you're a sole trader or landlord earning over £50,000, the clock is already ticking. ⏰

Surprisingly, over 65% of eligible taxpayers still haven't registered, more than two months after the April 2026 deadline! That's a lot of people at risk of penalties down the line.

Here's what you need to do now:

👉 Go digital early - get MTD-compliant software in place and start using it before your next filing deadline
👉 Build a routine - set aside time each week to log income, record expenses and keep your books up to date
👉 Use the soft-landing period wisely - late submission penalties won't apply to quarterly updates during 2026/27, but that's a window to practise, not a reason to delay
👉 Lean on your accountant - regular check-ins mean fewer surprises and better financial decisions throughout the year

MTD isn't just a compliance exercise. Done well, it gives you clearer visibility of your finances all year round.

Not sure where to start? Get in touch with MJ & Co Accountants today - we'll help you navigate Making Tax Digital with confidence, from choosing the right software to managing your quarterly filings.

We're shining a spotlight on one of the most experienced members of our team - meet Benn Pryce!

Benn first joined MJ & Co Accountants as an apprentice back in October 2008, and what a journey it's been since then.

Over the years, Benn built up a wealth of knowledge across all areas of Tax and Accounts, completing his AAT Accounting Technician Qualifications in 2020 - a brilliant achievement that reflects his dedication and hard work.

Today, Benn specialises in VAT and continues to support our clients with all aspects of Corporate and Personal Tax. His deep understanding of our clients and his years of hands-on experience have made him an absolutely invaluable part of the team - so much so that he's known as Simon's right-hand man! 💼

Outside of work, Benn loves spending quality time with his family and, when he can squeeze it in, enjoys a round of golf.

We're so proud to have Benn as part of the MJ & Co family - here's to many more years together! 🙌

Do you have a question about VAT or Tax? Benn and the team are always happy to help - get in touch today.

Big news for families this summer - Chancellor Rachel Reeves has announced a temporary VAT cut from 20% to 5% on a range of activities for six weeks, running from 25th June to early September 2026.

Here's what could be affected:

☑️ Children's meals eaten on the premises at restaurants
☑️ Children's admission tickets for cinemas, theatres, concerts and exhibitions
☑️ Qualifying family attractions like theme parks, zoos and soft play centres
☑️ Free local bus travel in England for children aged 5–15 throughout August

Sounds great - and in many ways it is. But there are a few things to be aware of. Businesses need to confirm their eligibility with HMRC, and there's no guarantee that every saving will be passed on to customers.

There's more to unpack here than the headline suggests.

Taking tax advice from a mate down the pub can prove very expensive.

Our latest blog looks at a locum doctor who made incorrect travel and subsistence claims, then faced HMRC penalties, interest and legal costs when the case reached tribunal.

It’s a clear reminder that poor tax advice and unsupported expense claims can have serious consequences.

At MJ & Co Accountants, we help you get it right first time with clear, professional tax advice you can trust.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is getting closer - and many sole traders still aren’t ready.

New Sage research found that only 30% of UK sole traders say they clearly understand the new MTD rules, and just 37% correctly identified the 7 August deadline.

If you’re a sole trader earning over £50,000 a year, you’ll need to:

☑️ Keep digital records
☑️ Use approved software
☑️ Submit quarterly updates to HMRC

The same research also showed that only 8% are currently using accounting software, while 70% do not feel confident about what they need to do to stay compliant.

That means many business owners could be leaving things too late.

At MJ & Co Accountants, we can help you understand what’s changing, guide you on the best software options to meet your needs, and make sure you’re prepared well before the deadline.

Contact MJ & Co Accountants today if you’d like support with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.
