MTD for Income Tax Is Coming: Are Your Clients (and Your Practice) Really Ready? 

A first look at Capium’s new MTD IT whitepaper and why you’ll want the full version. 

The countdown is officially on.
From April 2026, MTD for Income Tax becomes mandatory for self-employed individuals and landlords earning over £50,000, with those above £30,000 joining in 2027. That means more clients, more digital requirements, and more moving parts for accountants to manage. 

Quarterly submissions.
Digital record keeping.
A final declaration.
All through MTD-compatible software. 

It’s one of the biggest shifts the profession has seen in years and how you prepare now will shape how smoothly your practice handles the transition. 

That’s why we’ve created a practical new whitepaper:
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: Choose the Right Solution for Your Clients.

MTD IT Doesn’t Have to Mean More Complexity 

Yes, digital records and quarterly updates introduce new responsibilities, but they can also improve accuracy, reduce bottlenecks, and make tax forecasting far more predictable. 

The whitepaper explains the core requirements in clear, simple terms, and highlights the opportunities for better client relationships and cleaner workflows. But the real value lies in helping you choose the right approach for each client. 

Three MTD Pathways: One Flexible Ecosystem 

Not all clients work the same way. Some cling to spreadsheets. Others are halfway digital. Some want everything automated. 

Capium supports all of them.
Our whitepaper outlines three flexible routes to compliance, including: 

• A simple bridging option for spreadsheet-based clients 

• A lightweight digital record-keeping option for those ready to modernise 

• A fully integrated solution for high-value, multi-income clients who want a seamless MTD experience 

Each route supports digital record keeping, quarterly updates, and final declarations and the whitepaper helps you identify which clients fit where. 

Why You Need to Prepare Early 

MTD IT success isn’t just about choosing software, it’s about planning. 

Most practices will need time to segment clients, assess digital readiness, support onboarding, and test new workflows long before April 2026 arrives. 

Our whitepaper includes a practical framework to help you start now and avoid the last-minute rush.
