Making Tax Digital for self-employed people

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC's move to digital record-keeping and regular online updates instead of one big year-end form.

What it means for you

If your qualifying income is over the HMRC threshold, you'll need to:

  • Keep digital records of your income and expenses.
  • Send quarterly updates to HMRC using compatible software.
  • Finalise your year digitally.

Exact thresholds and start dates depend on HMRC's timetable and your circumstances — check your own MTD status with HMRC or your accountant.

How Vecti fits

Vecti is compatible tax software built for Making Tax Digital — not HMRC-endorsed. Where the feature is enabled for you and you're connected and ready, Vecti can submit your self-employment quarterly updates from your records, and check the figures first. The final year-end declaration is designed to be handled by an accountant.

Vecti's tax figures are estimates for guidance and may differ from HMRC's or your accountant's final numbers.
