MTD for Self-Employed: Your Next Deadline is 7 August 2026. Are You Set Up?
HMRC now requires sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000 to file quarterly. Four times a year instead of one. If you’re not across it yet, this is the conversation to have.

Why Legend Fusions
Software Routes Your Numbers. We Make Sure They're Right First.
We’re a Xero Silver Partner with hands-on MTD ITSA experience. We’re not learning this alongside you. When your quarterly update goes in, it goes in clean.
Xero will not ask whether your rental income is correctly split, or whether a side consultancy you started mid-year needs its own quarterly stream. We do. That’s the difference.
We’ve been doing this in the UK for 14 years. MTD is the same work, filed more often.

No. But it’s worth asking them directly: are your MTD quarterly submissions included in your current fee? If they can’t confirm it, you have your answer.
Not yet. If you’re between £30,000 and £50,000, you join in April 2027. Starting your software setup now rather than waiting saves you a scramble next year.
Submissions must go through HMRC-approved software. The most used are Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent. We’re a Xero Silver Partner with specific experience in MTD ITSA submissions through Xero. We’ll recommend the right fit for your setup and handle the onboarding from day one.
Yes. You’ll need separate quarterly updates for each income stream. It’s one of the more common MTD scenarios that trips people up with DIY platforms. Worth getting an advisor across it early.
In 2026/27, HMRC has a soft landing in place: no penalty points for missing quarterly updates in the first year. Penalties for late Final Declarations and inaccuracies apply from day one, though. From April 2027, the full points system applies: four late submissions in a rolling 12 months triggers a £200 fine, with a further £200 for each miss after that.
