MTD for ITSA is fast approaching!
HMRC is sending two sets of customer letters between November 2025 and March 2026. Here's what you need to know.
The rollout of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for ITSA) is fast approaching so HMRC is getting in touch with eligible customers to remind them about the changes.
If your gross revenue is £50,000 or more a year from self-employment and property, you will need to use MTD for ITSA, and can expect a letter from HMRC. There are two kinds of letters being sent:
• Mandation letter notifying customers that, based on HMRC data, they will be mandated to use MTD for Income Tax from April 2026
• Unrepresented taxpayers additional prompt letter to people without a tax agent who had not filed their 2024/25 tax return by 31 August 2025, raising awareness of MTD for ITSA
Most importantly, if you do not receive a letter, HMRC says it is still your responsibility to check if and when you need to use MTD for ITSA.
