What is changing, and why it matters.
HMRC’s Making Tax Digital programme is rolling out in phases. Within two years it brings most self-employed people and landlords into quarterly digital reporting.
| When | What changes |
|---|---|
| April 2026 | MTD ITSA becomes mandatory for sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000. |
| April 2027 | The threshold drops to £30,000, bringing many more sole traders and landlords into quarterly reporting. |
| April 2028 | The threshold drops to £20,000, making quarterly digital reporting a near-universal requirement for the self-employed and landlords. |
For limited companies the change is just as abrupt. HMRC closed its free Company Accounts and Tax Online (CATO) service on 31 March 2026, so every limited company now needs commercial software to file its annual CT600. The form and its iXBRL format are unchanged; the free way to submit it has gone.
The usual alternatives fall into two camps: full accounting suites that charge for inventory, project and multi-currency modules most SMEs never use, or basic bridging tools that meet the requirement but leave the actual work to you. Neither solves the underlying problem.
The full compliance pipeline, in one platform.
From document upload through bookkeeping to a prepared return, every step happens in TiraTax. Today every filing runs against HMRC’s test service or is switched off.
-
MTD ITSA quarterly reporting
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax across self-employment, UK property and foreign property income: quarterly updates, the annual submission and the final declaration, with amendments after submission.
-
VAT returns
All nine boxes calculated from your transactions, from the same books, so nothing is entered twice. Obligation history and confirmations are kept in your account. Returns go to HMRC’s test service today.
-
CT600 Corporation Tax
The corporation tax computation with iXBRL-tagged accounts and computations, PDF export, a full audit trail and a historic filing archive for companies moving from CATO. Filing to HMRC is switched off today.
-
Bookkeeping
Photograph a receipt, forward an invoice by email or drop in a bank statement. Text is read from photos, PDFs and scans, CSV and Excel files are imported with their columns detected, and each line gets a suggested HMRC category for you to confirm. A double-entry ledger keeps running income and expense totals by category.
-
PAYE payroll
Pay runs for the 2026–27 tax year, PDF payslips emailed to employees, statutory pay and pension auto-enrolment, with payroll journals posted into the books. Real Time Information (FPS and EPS) is built in, and PAYE, National Insurance and student loan figures are checked against HMRC test data.
-
Practices with many clients
One dashboard of every client’s obligations, deadlines and statuses, for sole traders, landlords and limited companies under one login. Auto-Pilot sends deadline reminders; clients reply by email with their documents, and the attachments become categorised transactions. ITSA, CT600 and VAT returns are prepared on the client’s behalf.
-
UK hosting and your data
Data is stored on UK servers. You authorise TiraTax with HMRC through OAuth 2.0: we hold a refresh token, never your password, and you can revoke it at any time. National Insurance numbers and HMRC tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they reach the database, with TLS 1.2 or later on every connection. For UK GDPR: full data export in a machine-readable format, granular consent management and account deletion with a 30-day grace period.
Built for the people who actually file.
Different users have different requirements. TiraTax handles each of them without forcing one approach on all.
-
Sole traders
Self-employed, qualifying income over £50,000
If your qualifying income was over £50,000 in 2025–26, you must file quarterly under MTD ITSA from April 2026. Upload invoices and bank statements from your phone, by email or in the app; TiraTax keeps the books and prepares the quarterly updates, VAT and the final declaration for you to review and approve, with a full audit trail for every return.
-
Landlords
Rental income from UK and foreign property
Rental income counts towards the MTD ITSA threshold alongside any self-employment income. UK and foreign property are separate income sources, each reported quarterly under its own HMRC business type, and self-employment income sits in the same app, not in a second tool with a second workflow.
-
SMEs and limited companies
The annual CT600 now needs commercial software
Companies that used to file for free through CATO, including micro-entities, now need commercial CT600 software. Directors with self-employment or rental income above £50,000 outside their company also need MTD ITSA; salary and dividends do not count towards that threshold. TiraTax prepares both.
-
Accountancy practices
Many clients across sole trade, property and companies
One dashboard across every client’s MTD ITSA, CT600 and VAT obligations, with Auto-Pilot collecting documents by email. Micro-entities that used to file through CATO now need software, and a practice can take them on without adding proportional overhead to the team.
