Be Ready for the MTD for ITSA Mandate
HMRC is replacing the traditional annual Self Assessment tax return with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for ITSA).
Under these rules, sole traders and landlords must keep digital records and submit four quarterly summary updates, followed by an End of Period Statement (EOPS) and Final Declaration to HMRC.
