How Merranti Can Help You with MTD ITSA

From April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD ITSA) will become mandatory for sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000. This means you’ll need to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC using compatible software—a major change from the traditional once-a-year tax return.

At Merranti, we understand that change can be overwhelming—especially if you’re not used to using accounting software or managing digital submissions. That’s why we’ve developed a streamlined, supportive service to make your transition to MTD ITSA simple and stress-free.

Here’s how we help:

 

  • Low-Cost Digital Solutions: We offer affordable options starting from as little as £7/month using tools like Xero Simple and Hubdoc, which are HMRC-compliant and easy to use—even for non-tech-savvy clients.

 

  • Quarterly Submission Management: Our team will handle your quarterly updates, ensuring everything is accurate and filed on time, so you avoid penalties.

 

  • Easy Onboarding: We guide you through the entire process with clear instructions, digital forms, and direct support from our friendly team. Whether you’re a landlord or sole trader, we’ll help you get set up quickly.

 

  • Ongoing Support: From reminders and deadline tracking to advisory support and tax-saving opportunities, Merranti stays by your side year-round—not just at tax time.

 

  • MTD Year-End Review: We carry out the final declaration with full tax review, incorporating other income sources and ensuring everything is correct before submission.
