MTD for Income Tax — Deadline Passed

Your clients
need MTD.
Can you actually deliver it?

HMRC’s Making Tax Digital rules are already live. Quarterly digital filings are the law — and not every accountant is set up to handle them. If your practice isn’t registered under the new Agent Services Account, your clients face penalties and you risk losing them.

The Problem

MTD for Income Tax is here.
It’s already catching people out.

Since April 2026, sole traders and landlords over £50,000 must file quarterly digital returns to HMRC. April 2027 brings in those over £30,000. If you’re their accountant and you’re not set up — they’re non-compliant and you could lose them.

HMRC’s Rules Changed

Agents must register via the new Agent Services Account portal and meet stricter requirements. Many sole practitioners and unqualified bookkeepers simply don’t qualify — or can’t navigate the process alone.

Clients Are Already Asking

Your self-employed and landlord clients have received HMRC letters. They’re asking you what to do. If you can’t give them a clear answer — or worse, can’t act for them — they will find someone who can.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

HMRC’s points-based penalty system means £200 per missed filing, plus surcharges. Clients will blame their accountant. The reputational damage falls on you.

The Solution

Two ways to keep your clients compliant

Both come with a signed NDA and a dedicated TaxDigital contact from day one.

Option 1

Whitelabel Service

You keep the client relationship — and the billing. We do all the MTD work invisibly, under your brand. Your clients never know we exist.

What you get

  • We file quarterly MTD submissions directly with HMRC
  • All comms sent under your firm’s name & branding
  • You invoice the client — we invoice you wholesale
  • Full NDA signed before we touch any client data
  • Dedicated partner contact for every query
  • Same-day turnaround on urgent filings

Best for: Practices wanting to retain full client control and their revenue, without the MTD admin overhead.

Option 2

Client Referral

Pass your MTD clients to us. We manage them end to end, keep them compliant — and you earn a referral fee for every client you introduce.

What you get

  • Referral fee paid per client per year
  • We handle every HMRC interaction — zero ongoing responsibility
  • Professional client handover — warm and respectful
  • Transparent fee schedule confirmed upfront in your agreement
  • Optional “soft intro” so clients see us as your trusted partner
  • No minimum client numbers to qualify

Best for: Practitioners wanting to free up time, reduce liability, or wind down — without abandoning clients.

What accountants say about us

★★★★★

When HMRC told me I’d need to re-register under the new ASA requirements, I genuinely panicked. I have around 30 self-employed clients above the threshold. TaxDigital stepped in within days — they handle all the quarterly filings under my brand and my clients haven’t noticed a thing. The wholesale pricing is very fair.

★★★★★

I’m a bookkeeper, not a qualified accountant. MTD for Income Tax was always going to be beyond my scope — I don’t have the HMRC agent standing. Referring my 45 affected clients to TaxDigital was the right call. Every single one transferred without complaint, and the referral fees paid for a holiday. Genuinely happy.

★★★★★

I run a two-person practice. There’s no way I could’ve handled the volume of quarterly filings MTD ITSA demands. The whitelabel arrangement means I still look like a full-service firm to my clients. TaxDigital do the technical work; I manage the relationship. A genuinely good partnership.

FAQ

Questions we get every day

No. We work with qualified accountants, unqualified bookkeepers, payroll specialists, and sole practitioners alike. What matters is that you have clients affected by MTD for Income Tax — we handle everything that requires HMRC authorisation.

Under the whitelabel arrangement, no — unless you choose to tell them. All reports, submissions, and correspondence are presented under your name and branding. We sign an NDA before we see a single client record. Under the referral model, clients are introduced to TaxDigital directly, but we work with you to make the transition feel seamless.

Referral fees are paid per client per year and confirmed upfront in your referral agreement. The exact amount varies based on the number of clients and service tier, but we will walk you through the figures clearly before you commit to anything. There is no cap on how many clients you can refer.

We manage the 64-8 agent authorisation (or digital equivalent) for each client. For whitelabel partners we handle this behind the scenes; for referral partners we do it as TaxDigital directly. The process typically takes 24 hours to 10 working days depending on HMRC processing times.

We are platform agnostic. We work with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent, IRIS, Kashflow, Dext, and most other MTD-compatible software. Where a client is already set up on a platform, we will work within it.

Absolutely fine. We have no minimum client threshold. Even a single client is fine. Many of our partners started with just a handful and have grown the arrangement over time.

Once the partner agreement is signed, most partners are fully operational within 7–14 days. HMRC authorisations add some time, but we begin the onboarding process immediately and manage the pipeline to ensure no filing deadlines are missed in the interim.

Under the whitelabel arrangement, the client relationship never left your practice in the first place. Under the referral model, if circumstances change and you want to take a client back, we would discuss transition arrangements at that point — there is no lock-in on your side.
