How you file your tax return is changing - are you ready? (and other accounting matters)

Making Tax Digital starts in April 2026 and will change how sole traders and landlords file tax returns. Find out if you’re affected and how to prepare.

What to expect from this event

Making Tax Digital is set to change how sole traders and landlords keep records and submit tax information.

From 1 April 2026, anyone earning over £50,000 may be required to keep digital records and make more frequent submissions - ending the traditional once‑a‑year January rush.

At this session, you’ll learn:

  • What making tax digital means for sole traders and landlords
  • Who will be affected from April 2026
  • What digital records and software you’ll need
  • How the new five‑times‑a‑year submission model works
  • How to prepare your bookkeeping processes for the switch

We’ll also look at wider changes in the accounting world, including new bookkeeping software options and how AI tools can support your financial management.

A Q&A session will give you the chance to ask about Making Tax Digital or any other accountancy‑related topics. Perfect for anyone wanting clarity, confidence, and a smooth transition ahead of the 2026 changes.
