Making Tax Digital (MTD) is an initiative by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) designed to simplify and digitalise the UK tax system.

It requires businesses and self-employed individuals to keep digital records and submit VAT and Income Tax returns through MTD-compatible software instead of spreadsheets or paper forms.

All VAT-registered businesses in the UK must already follow MTD for VAT.

From April 2026, self-employed individuals and landlords with income over £50,000 will also be required to submit their tax returns digitally through MTD for Income Tax Self-Assessment (ITSA).

Invoice Guru connects directly to HMRC’s official MTD APIs for VAT and ITSA.

Once you link your HMRC account, the app automatically syncs your business details, VAT periods, and tax data.

You can then submit your VAT Return or Income Tax reports directly from your phone — safely and securely.

Yes — Invoice Guru will be fully built to be MTD-compliant for both VAT Returns and Income Tax submissions (ITSA).

The app is integrated with HMRC’s APIs and follows all data security and record-keeping standards required for MTD approval.

Absolutely. Invoice Guru is a mobile-first MTD app, allowing you to view your VAT summary, check due dates, and submit your return to HMRC in just a few taps.

If you’re self-employed or a landlord, start by keeping all income and expense records digitally.

When HMRC activates MTD for ITSA in 2026, you’ll be ready to submit quarterly updates and your end-of-year statement directly through the app.
