What is MTD ITSA?

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD ITSA): What You Need to Know (Without the Jargon).

By a fellow busy mum and small business owner

Let’s be honest, when HMRC announced Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment, or MTD ITSA as it's sometimes called, most of us didn’t exactly cheer. If you’re self-employed, a landlord, or someone juggling a side hustle while trying to stay on top of receipts, it probably just sounded like more admin.

As a mum of two who’s also running a business, I completely understand. The last thing any of us needs is more paperwork or another confusing change. But don’t worry, I’ve got you. This blog is here to explain it all in plain English, with zero jargon and zero stress.
