According to News and communications, more than 436,000 sole traders and landlords have successfully submitted their first Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax quarterly update. The milestone represents the latest wave of participants in the government’s digital tax initiative.
The update, part of the MTD scheme, was filed by sole traders and landlords across the country, bringing the total number of first‑time submitters to over 436,000. The announcement did not include a detailed breakdown by region or sector, but it confirms a broad uptake of the digital reporting system among self‑employed individuals and property owners. The data was released in a brief statement from the agency responsible for tax communications.
The Making Tax Digital programme requires users to keep digital records and submit returns electronically, aiming to modernise tax reporting. This figure marks the most recent step in that rollout.
