Disclaimer

General information, not tax advice. This site explains published HMRC rules in plain English. It is not personal tax advice and we are not affiliated with HMRC. Check with HMRC or a qualified accountant before you act. Figures were checked against gov.uk on 5 November 2026.

makingtaxdigital.blog summarises publicly available HMRC guidance so sole traders and landlords can find the right gov.uk page faster. It does not replace HMRC’s tools, letters, or professional advice.

• Thresholds and dates can change. Always check the linked gov.uk page.
• Exemptions, joint ownership, ceased trades, non-residence and other special cases can change the answer. Our checker does not model every case.
• We are not HMRC and not a regulated tax adviser.
• Paid templates sold via Payhip are record-keeping or budgeting spreadsheets only. They cannot send Making Tax Digital updates or tax returns.

If something on this site disagrees with gov.uk, treat gov.uk as correct and tell us so we can fix it.
