Self Assessment and Making Tax Digital for Income Tax
MTD for Income Tax started on 6 April 2026. It initially applies to sole traders and landlords with qualifying income above £50,000
- The threshold reduces to £30,000 from April 2027
- It reduces again to £20,000 from April 2028
- MTD does not simply replasce Self Assessment overnight
- Taxpayers joining MTD still need to submit their tax return for the previous tax year
- Quarterly updates are submitted using compatible software
HMRC confirms that the £20,000 threshold applies from 6 April 2028, based on qualifying income for 2026/27.
Penalties for late self assessment tax return
- One day late: Automatic penalty of £100, regardless of tax owed.
- Three months late: £10 per day, up to a maximum of £900.
- Six months late: Penalty of £300 or 5% of the tax due, whichever is higher.
- Twelve months late: Additional £300 or 5% of the tax due, whichever is higher.
- Deliberate concealment: Higher penalties may apply for withholding information.
Don’t let this happen to you! Contact dns accountants today to file your return before the deadline.
