💰Making Tax Digital for Income Tax - Auto-enrolment and missed updates.

The first Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax quarterly deadline has passed, but plenty of people who need to comply still haven't signed up.

Starting September 2026, HMRC will auto-enrol anyone who should've registered from April but hasn't. These individuals will receive a letter or digital message explaining what to do next.

If you missed the first deadline, there is some flexibility. For 2026/2027, there are no penalties for late quarterly updates. However, it is important to note that all quarterly updates must be filed before you can submit your tax return.

Penalties still apply for late tax return submissions and payments.

If you receive an auto-enrolment letter or have missed the deadline, speak to our experienced accounts & bookkeeping team, who will ensure you stay compliant with MTD.
