What is MTD ITSA and who does it apply to?

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment is HMRC’s programme requiring digital record keeping and quarterly reporting instead of a single annual return. It applies to sole traders and landlords whose qualifying income exceeds the relevant threshold, assessed on their Self Assessment return from two years earlier.

When does MTD ITSA start and what are the thresholds?

Mandation begins on 6 April 2026 for those with qualifying income above £50,000, based on the 2024/25 return. The threshold drops to £30,000 from 6 April 2027 and to £20,000 from 6 April 2028. HMRC assesses the threshold two years back, so it needs a filed return in hand before the mandation year to know who to enrol.

How many submissions will a client have to make each year?

A client with one qualifying business makes four cumulative quarterly updates plus one Final Declaration, five filings a year minimum. A client with self-employment and UK rental property files nine times, and adding overseas property takes it to thirteen. That volume is why practices are repricing services and reissuing engagement letters ahead of mandation. FigsFlow handles that front-office side, MTD-ready proposals, pricing, and engagement letters, so your commercial setup keeps pace with the new filing load.

Who is each of these checklists for?

The Accountant checklist gives client-level oversight and task management across a practice’s MTD book. The Self-Employment checklist helps sole traders and freelancers capture, record, and submit their income tax data. The Landlord checklist covers rental income reporting and quarterly submissions. Each is a free download.

How do these checklists help me stay compliant?

They break the MTD ITSA obligations into structured, audience-specific tasks so nothing slips across digital record keeping, quarterly updates, and the year-end Final Declaration. For practices onboarding clients into MTD at scale, FigsFlow takes the same structured approach to the front office, running proposals, MTD engagement letters, AML and KYC, and payment collection in one place, so client sign-up keeps pace with the checklist’s compliance steps.
