Why MTD
Why Making Tax Digital Changes Everything
HMRC's Making Tax Digital programme is transforming the UK accounting profession.
What's Changing?
6 April 2026
Mandatory for £50,000+ income
6 Apr 2027
Threshold drops to £30,000
Apr 2028+
Further expansion to £20,000
More frequent reporting
Fewer experienced candidates
Rising costs, rising pressure
Why This Creates a Capacity Problem, Not Just a Compliance Problem
More frequent reporting means more recurring work, spread across more of the year, not a once a year peak. Firms need more hands, more consistently, without proportionally increasing fixed overhead.
