Service Overview
What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
Making Tax Digital is a key part of the UK government’s 10-year strategy to modernise the tax system. It requires businesses and individuals to maintain digital records and use HMRC-compatible software to submit tax returns.
From April 2026, many self-employed individuals and landlords will no longer submit a traditional annual Self Assessment tax return alone. Instead, they must submit four quarterly updates, an End of Period Statement (EOPS), and a Final Declaration to HMRC each year.
At Acumen Accountants and Tax Advisor (AcumenAGC), we simplify this transition. We set up the digital infrastructure required by HMRC, ensuring your financial data is accurate, real-time, and securely stored.
Who Needs MTD Compliance?
We provide specialist MTD support for a wide range of UK entities, including:
- Self-employed individuals & sole traders
- Landlords receiving rental income
- VAT-registered businesses (already mandatory)
- SMEs, startups & UK limited companies
- Those with combined self-employment & property income

FAQ
Making Tax Digital: Frequently Asked Questions
Is MTD mandatory for all UK businesses?
Currently, MTD is mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses. Starting April 2026, it will become mandatory for self-employed individuals and landlords with an income over £50,000.
Can I still use spreadsheets for MTD?
You can use spreadsheets, but they must be “digitally linked” to HMRC via bridging software. At AcumenAGC, we recommend moving to cloud accounting for better long-term efficiency.
What are the penalties for MTD non-compliance?
HMRC uses a points-based penalty system for late submissions and late payments. Consistent failure to maintain digital records can lead to significant financial penalties.
Do I need a London accountant for MTD?
While we are a leading MTD firm in London, cloud accounting allows us to support clients throughout the UK seamlessly.
How do I sign up for MTD?
You must sign up via the HMRC website, but we recommend having your accountant do this to ensure your digital links are correctly established first.
