MTD Deadline Fast Approaching - Less Than 10% Have Signed Up


 

HMRC has confirmed 864,000 people must comply with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax from 6 April 2026. Only 81,000 have signed up. That is fewer than 1 in 10. If you are a landlord or sole trader earning over £50,000, the deadline is weeks away — not months.

If you're a landlord or sole trader with qualifying income over £50k, you should register and get compatible software sorted immediately—penalties for late quarterly updates start after April 2026. Check your eligibility and sign-up on GOV.UK.

  1. Why would anyone bother setting up a business? Labour needs to update its game and sort this and all the other issues out if we are to avoid having far right extremists like Farage doing even more damage to our great country

    1. Nothing to do with Labour. The unaccountable and unelected slobs that 'run' HMRC are the ones who've implemented. They love tormenting decent people

    3. @18:30 It was ever thus. When I worked for HMRC there were a couple of heffers who broke their specialist chairs every other month such were their obesity issues - no worries, the Taxpayer picked up the bill for their greed and laziness

    5. @13:02 It definitely did happen - multiple times. Everyone (including you if you actually work) paid for those fatties broken chairs. I hope HMRC have ended the practice of supplying chairs to overweight staff - a gym membership and/or fat loss jabs is what's needed (paid for by the fatty not the Taxpayer).

      Everyone at HMRC is overweight.
      Everyone at HMRC is uneducated.
      Everyone at HMRC is a communist.
      Everyone at HMRC is lazy.
      Everyone at HMRC is corrupt.
      Even at HMRC is a bully.
      Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.
      Change the record and get therapy.

    7. @16:15 Never said everyone at HMRC was/is a lazy, fatty but there were/are rather a lot.
      I have no knowledge of their educational attainments, political leanings or any corrupt activities, and while there definitely were bullies, that wasn't everyone. So I must ask: are you okay? Are you sure you're okay?
      I do unapologetically agree with a recent poster who highlighted the serious issue of sex pests getting away with it in HMRC.
      Those living in denial about the actual reality of life working at HMRC would do well to talk it through with their psychiatrist

      "Sex pests" in HMRC? That sounds highly concerning. Do the Internal Governance people not look into bad behaviour?

    9. It's covered up in HMRC. Same as any large organisation. Just look at the BBC, it took external intervention to expose Huw Edwards as a dirty nonce pedo beast

      The problem with that is Internal Governance would only look into something if names, dates, locations, witnesses, evidence etc was forthcoming.
      You know, the kind of thing that never gets mentioned on here.

  2. A very dangerous precedent, they're shite but it's in house shite. They could just use AI to take the calls and take a transcript, zero call waiting times. Outsourcing would cause more problems than it solves. They tried a quarter of a century ago with KEEP IT CONFIDENTIAL campaign and it was stopped.

    As we know, if it goes to shite the architects will be long gone before there's any accountability.

  3. Nobody wants to go near HMRC with a barge pole to avoid being smeared with their vile stench.

    As is the usual modus operandi, the British taxpayers get a good going over to the tune of 437 million.

    How many potholes would that fix? Time to boot the door of Mecca Bingo Maureen to balance the books.

    I absolutely &@#+ING dispise HMRC

  5. This lump of MTD is claimed to be a tool to close the tax gap through better accuracy and timeliness, generate extra revenue, and bring the self-assessment system into the digital age and all without changing any underlying tax rules

    The reality will be very different
