The first MTD deadline is 7 August. If you need to register or file and time is short, call 0114 327 1480 or use the enquiry form below.
Step 1 — Set up your HMRC personal tax account and Self Assessment
Before anything else, you need a personal tax account with HMRC and to be registered for Self Assessment (if you are not already). You set these up yourself here:
Important: an accountant cannot set up your personal tax account or register you for Self Assessment — HMRC requires you to do this step yourself. Once it’s in place, we can take over the MTD registration and filing.
Step 2 — Register for Making Tax Digital
Next, register for MTD through your personal tax account. You register each source of income as a separate MTD business. For example, if you are a tradesperson, your trade is business 1; if you also receive property rental income, that is business 2.
We can register you for MTD — fee £95 + VAT (one-off).
Step 3 — File your quarterly update by the deadline
Finally, report all your business income to HMRC through compatible software by the deadline. The first quarterly update is due by 7 August, and you file four updates a year plus a year-end final declaration.
We can file your quarterly update — fee £75 + VAT per submission.
