‼️New MTD rules are already in place — check whether the new tax system applies to you‼️
📍MTD Income Thresholds
The requirement to join MTD is being phased in based on your annual gross qualifying income:
From April 2026: If your gross income is over £50,000.
From April 2027: If your gross income is over £30,000.
From April 2028: If your gross income is over £20,000.
📍Combined Sources: If you have both a sole trader business and rental properties, HMRC adds together the gross income from both to check against the threshold.
📍Expenses are Ignored: Even if your business has high costs and very low net profit, you must still join MTD if your total sales/rent (gross) exceeds the limit.
📍Excluded Income: Salaries from employment (PAYE), dividends, and pensions do not counttowards the MTD threshold.
📍Joint Property: Only your individual share of gross rental income from jointly owned property is included in your calculation.
