The first quarterly submission deadline for those affected by Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax is 7th August 2026. This submission covers the period from 6th April to 5th July 2026.
MTD currently affects sole traders and landlords with qualifying business or property income over £50,000, so if that sounds like you, now is the time to make sure you’re prepared.
August might seem a long way off, but with the first reporting period already underway, the deadline will arrive sooner than you think.
At Ascentant, we’ve already been in touch with all our clients who are affected by the new rules, helping them get set up and ready for their first submission.
If you’re one of our clients and you’re unsure what you need to do, have questions about your records or software, or simply want some reassurance before the deadline, please get in touch with the team. We’re here to help.
And if you’re not currently an Ascentant client but need support with MTD, we’d be happy to have a chat.
Don’t leave it until the last minute – contact us today.
