Also run a limited company?
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies to sole traders and landlords, not to limited companies — but VAT-registered companies already file VAT under MTD, and many directors also have rental or self-employed income in scope. See our limited company accounts hub for Companies House and Corporation Tax filings.
