🚨 Haven’t signed up for Making Tax Digital yet? HMRC may do it for you.

September brings an important development for Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax.

📅 From September 2026, HMRC will begin automatically signing up, in stages, some people who should already be using MTD for Income Tax but haven't yet signed up.

If you're affected, don't assume being automatically registered means everything is taken care of. You still need to make sure you're ready to meet the ongoing requirements.

That could mean:

💻 Using compatible accounting software
🧾 Keeping digital records of your income and expenses
📊 Sending quarterly updates to HMRC
📅 Keeping on top of your MTD deadlines
📩 Paying attention to communications from HMRC

For those already within MTD for Income Tax, the next quarterly update deadline is 7 November 2026 — so now is a good time to make sure your records are up to date.

⚠️ Received an MTD communication from HMRC or unsure whether the rules apply to you?

Speak to an accountant who can help you understand your obligations and get the right systems in place.

When should you consider becoming a limited company?

There isn’t one point at which every sole trader should make the switch. The right structure depends on your profits, plans and personal circumstances.

It may be worth discussing incorporation if:

• Your business and profits are growing
• You want a clearer separation between your personal and business finances
• You’re planning to take on employees or grow the business
• You want to explore different ways of taking income from the business
• You’re thinking about bringing in another owner or investor
• A limited company structure could offer commercial or tax advantages for your circumstances

But becoming a limited company also brings additional responsibilities, including annual accounts, Corporation Tax, Companies House filings and more formal record keeping.

That’s why the decision shouldn’t be based on a single profit figure or something another business owner has done.

Your accountant can compare the options and help you understand the tax, costs and responsibilities of each structure before you make the change.

Thinking about moving from sole trader to limited company?

Speak to your local Certax advisor.

Sole trader or landlord? Do not leave the year’s records until January.

A short monthly routine can help: record income, capture expenses, reconcile the bank and deal with missing information while it is fresh.

Book a records review with your local Certax Advisor.

24/08/2026

If your current accounting support no longer fits, you do not have to wait until January to ask about a change.

August gives you time to understand the handover, fees, responsibilities and records needed before the autumn workload grows.

Ask your local Certax advisor about switching accountant.

21/08/2026

Paying PAYE electronically? Monthly payments are normally due by the 22nd of the next tax month.

Check processing times and your payment reference rather than leaving it to the last moment. Speak to your local Certax advisor about payroll support.

Before September, review five areas: unpaid invoices, expense records, payroll data, VAT records and the amount reserved for tax payments.

You do not need to solve everything in one sitting. Start by identifying gaps and agreeing the next action.

A clear accounting quote is about more than the number.

Ask what is included, what is excluded, which deadlines are covered, what information you need to provide and when extra charges could apply.

Request a fixed-fee quote from your local Certax accountant.

Good software still needs good records.

Check your bank feeds, transaction categories, receipts and adviser access before September. Look for duplicate entries and unexplained balances while they are still fresh.

Request a records review from Certax.
