MTD FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?

Making Tax Digital is a UK government programme that changes how tax is reported.

It requires digital records and online submissions instead of yearly paper-style reporting.

Who needs to use MTD?

MTD applies to:

• VAT registered businesses

• Self-employed people (coming in phases)

• Landlords (coming in phases)

Rules are expanding over time.

Do I still need an accountant?

Maybe — but many people just need deadline tracking and clear instructions.

MTD Deadline is designed for people who want to stay compliant without paying high monthly accounting fees.

Does MTD Deadline submit my tax returns?

No.

We provide:

• Deadline tracking

• What-to-submit guidance

• Reminders

• Compliance support

You (or your accountant) still submit the return.

What happens if I miss an MTD deadline?

You could receive penalties from HMRC.

That’s why reminders and clear instructions matter.

Is this connected to HMRC?

No.

MTD Deadline is an independent guidance and reminder service.
