Making Tax Digital for Landlords & Sole Traders – The Plain-English Guide (2026/27 Edition, PDF + Kindle ePub)

From 6 April 2027, more than a million more landlords and sole traders must use Making Tax Digital. This short, plain-English guide tells you whether you're in, what you have to do, and how to avoid the new penalties, without the jargon.

INSIDE (30 pages, 12 short chapters):

✓ Am I in? Thresholds, qualifying income, joint property, and exemptions

✓ What MTD actually asks you to do, and what doesn't change

✓ Digital records, spreadsheets, and "digital links" explained

✓ Software choices: full packages, bridging, or an accountant

✓ Quarterly updates step by step, with every 2027/28 deadline

✓ Landlords: joint ownership and Form 17, mortgage interest, letting agents, and the April 2027 property tax rise

✓ Sole traders: mileage, the trading allowance, and CIS

✓ The final declaration, payments on account, and penalties

✓ A countdown plan to April 2027, a one-page checklist, and a glossary

Every rule is checked against GOV.UK (October 2026), with clickable links to the official guidance.
