When are the quarterly updates due?
For standard quarters the updates are due by 7 August, 7 November, 7 February and 7 May, one month after each quarter ends on 5 July, 5 October, 5 January and 5 April.
Who is in scope for MTD for Income Tax?
Sole traders and landlords whose qualifying income is above £50,000 from April 2026, above £30,000 from April 2027 and above £20,000 from April 2028. Check the current rules on GOV.UK.

Spreadsheets can be used only with compatible bridging software that links to HMRC. Most people find proper accounting software with bank feeds simpler.

Is there a contract or set-up fee?
No long contract. Onboarding time is charged at the same £15 hourly rate and shown clearly in your quote.

Xero, QuickBooks Online, FreeAgent and Sage, plus migration from spreadsheets.
