MTD Readiness Toolkit

Making Tax Digital is coming. Find out in seconds if it applies to you — and exactly what you need to do.

What it does

✅ Tells you instantly whether you're caught by MTD — and from which date (April 2026, 2027 or 2028)
✅ Uses your gross self-employment and rental income, the way HMRC actually assesses it
✅ Flags the trap most people miss — MTD is based on gross income, not profit
✅ All the key deadlines: registration, quarterly updates and the final declaration
✅ Guidance on choosing HMRC-recognised software — and an honest warning about its limits

Why it helps

The rules are confusing and the guidance is scattered across dozens of pages. This toolkit pulls it together, gives you a personal answer, and points you to exactly what you need — checked against the latest GOV.UK guidance. Works in Google Sheets on any device, or in Excel.
