Ready for MTD
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax started in April 2026. I’ll get you compliant and keep your quarterly updates on track.
MTD for Income Tax is here – and it’s widening in April 2027
Since 6 April 2026, sole traders and landlords with more than £50,000 of qualifying income have had to keep digital records and send HMRC quarterly updates. From April 2027 that threshold drops to £30,000, bringing in thousands more people across Dorset.
I’ll check whether it applies to you, set up the right software and submit every update on time. My MTD plan is £31 a month for your bookkeeping plus all 5 MTD returns – with no VAT to add.
Key MTD dates
- April 2026: qualifying income over £50,000
- April 2027: qualifying income over £30,000

Common questions
Can I ask a quick question before signing up?
Of course. Call or WhatsApp me on 07841 920411 – a first chat is free and there’s no pressure to go any further.
Do you only work with builders?
No. Builders and trades are a big part of my work, but I also help shops, landlords, freelancers, care providers and other small businesses across East Dorset.
What does the £31-a-month MTD plan cover?
It covers your bookkeeping plus all five Making Tax Digital submissions for the year – four quarterly updates and the final declaration – with no VAT to add.
Can you take over from my current bookkeeper?
Yes. I’ll pick up your records from where they are now, check the figures and carry on, so the switch is as smooth as possible for you.
Do I need to be in Verwood to work with you?
Not at all. I visit clients around East Dorset and the edge of the New Forest, and work online with businesses anywhere in Dorset.
