Have you taken our short survey on Making Tax Digital for income tax?

Our short six question survey on Making Tax Digital (MTD) for income tax which opened last week remains open for responses. The survey will close on Friday 25 April and will take less than 5 minutes to complete. A more detailed survey on MTD will be launched later before the summer. Take the survey now. 

Despite our reservations about MTD, the Institute will continue to work with HMRC on MTD readiness and is developing a cross-department MTD strategy to assist members in their preparations. We will also continue to represent members views as we approach April 2026. 

HMRC is working with an independent research agency, Verian, to understand the impact of MTD for  income tax on taxpayers. The research has recently been extended until 8 May 2025. See Check genuine HMRC contact that uses more than one communication method for more information.

HMRC has also recently published guidance and a new YouTube video to assist agents with the MTD client sign-up process. Several new software providers have also recently been added to the HMRC’s list of MTD compatible software.
