MAKING TAX DIGITAL

HMRC is changing the rules — are you ready?

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for IT) requires self-employed sole traders earning over £50,000 to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC using compatible software. The threshold is set to reduce further, meaning most sole traders will need to comply soon.

I take the worry off your plate. Using Xero, I'll get your records in order, set up your submissions, and keep everything compliant — so you can get on with the job.

📋

Quarterly Updates

Submit income & expense summaries to HMRC four times a year. I handle every one.

💻

Digital Records

Paper receipts are out. I set up Xero so everything is logged properly from day one.

Never Miss a Deadline

Stay compliant all year round — no last-minute panic, no penalties.

💰

Fair, Flat Pricing

Transparent monthly rates built for sole traders — no big-firm overheads.
