WTF Is Making Tax Digital? A Simple Explanation for UK Sole Traders

Making Tax Digital doesn’t have to be scary — and it definitely isn’t about being perfect.

In this free webinar, I explain Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD ITSA) in plain English for UK sole traders and side-hustlers, with a focus on clarity, reassurance, and what actually matters.

This session is ideal if you:

Are self-employed or running a side business

Expect your turnover to be £30,000+

Feel organised but nervous about getting things wrong

Want to understand MTD without jargon or pressure

What we cover:

✔ What Making Tax Digital for Income Tax actually is
✔ Who will be affected (and who won’t — yet)
✔ When it starts and what the timeline looks like
✔ A simple overview of digital record-keeping
✔ Software vs spreadsheets — pros, cons, and risks
✔ How quarterly updates really work
✔ What you should (and shouldn’t) be doing this year
✔ Immediate next steps to prepare for April 2026
