Wrapping up before a busy season? You could have filed your first update from 26 June and spent deadline week thinking about anything else.

Your digital records don\u2019t have to be \u201clive\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MTD requires you to keep your records digitally\u2014but it doesn\u2019t require you to keep them live in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sitting down before each quarterly deadline and entering everything in one batch is perfectly within the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, little and often is the smarter habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Connect your bank feed, snap receipts as you go, and the quarterly update stops being a job at all\u2014it can become a five-minute review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if life gets in the way one quarter, you\u2019re not breaking any rules by catching up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-bonus-tip-1-there-s-free-mtd-software-and-that-s-free-forever\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus tip #1: There&#8217;s free MTD software (and that&#8217;s free, forever)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-gb\/products\/sage-sole-trader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sage Sole Trader<\/a> lets you do everything you need to for MTD for Income Tax\u2014and Sage Sole Trader Free is a permanently zero cost, Making Tax Digital (MTD)-ready accounting app designed for non-VAT registered sole traders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It does everything you need.

That would be bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They all still need to be submitted before you can finalise your year, and the points system starts properly from 2027\/28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it does mean your first year is a genuine practice run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-related-links yoast-seo-related-links\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-gb\/blog\/mtd-quarterly-updates-supercharge-your-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How MTD quarterly updates can supercharge your business.

What do I need to do?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-gb\/blog\/hmrc-penalty-making-tax-digital\/\">Making Tax Digital for Income Tax penalties: HMRC\u2019s new systems explained<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. There\u2019s nothing to pay on 7 August<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quarterly update is a summary of your income and expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not a tax bill, and it doesn\u2019t change when you pay tax\u2014your payment dates stay exactly where they\u2019ve always been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the deadline costs you a few minutes in your software, not a penny from your bank account. (Although if you\u2019ve previously agreed with HMRC to pay on account by 31 July, that hasn\u2019t changed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. You can update your figures after you submit <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each update is cumulative: it covers everything from the start of the tax year up to the end of that quarter, not just the latest three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spot a missed expense from May in September? It simply flows into your next update, and everything is finalised at year end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even better, penalties for mistakes like this don\u2019t apply to quarterly updates. Ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal each quarter is complete and reasonable\u2014not audit-perfect. Submit, move on, run your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(To be clear, HMRC requires you to take care to be as accurate and complete as possible in your updates. None of the above is a get-out-of-jail-free card. But it is good to know that accidental or unintentional errors can be fixed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Under \u00a390,000? You only need two totals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your turnover is below the \u00a390,000 VAT registration threshold, you qualify for what\u2019s known as \u201cthree-line accounts\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of splitting every expense into HMRC\u2019s categories, your digital records only need to distinguish income from expenses\u2014and your quarterly update reports just those two totals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That could be a serious admin saving for smaller businesses and landlords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your software can still categorise everything behind the scenes if you want richer insight, and perhaps the key thing to remember is that you\u2019ll still need to have those digital records of income and expenditure by the quarterly update deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"7\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. You can pick quarter dates that suit you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard update periods follow the tax year: 6 April to 5 July, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if tidy month-ends suit your bookkeeping better, you can elect to use calendar quarters instead\u20141 April to 30 June for quarter one\u2014with exactly the same deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One catch: you have to make the choice before you submit your first update for the tax year and let HMRC know. So if you\u2019ve already filed, it\u2019s one to remember for next April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"8\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Each income source gets its own update\u2014even a quiet one<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re both a sole trader and a landlord, you don\u2019t send one combined update. You send one for each income source, each quarter. Good software makes this painless, but it\u2019s worth knowing so a second deadline never catches you out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep an eye on both sets of figures as the quarter closes, and let your software\u2019s reminders do the remembering for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yes, if you run two businesses and are a landlord, that\u2019s three quarterly updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"9\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Joint landlords can leave expenses until year end<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Own a rental property with someone else? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dedicated easement lets you report just your share of the income each quarter and deal with expenses once, at the end of the year (subject to the relevant conditions being met). So, no splitting the boiler repair four times annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combine it with three-line accounts (if your property income is under \u00a390,000) and your entire quarterly obligation for a jointly owned property can shrink to a single income figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s about as light as tax admin gets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"10\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Every update gives you a free tax estimate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the genuine upside nobody mentions: once you submit an update, you get back an in-year estimate of your tax position based on the figures so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time, you\u2019ll know roughly the shape January\u2019s bill might take\u2014but in August, with time to put money aside, smooth your cash flow, or talk to an accountant while there\u2019s still a chance to act. (Although don&#8217;t forget that your final tax bill might take into account other sources of income like interest or pensions, plus reliefs or adjustments\u2014and these can affect the final amount.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old system told you what you owed after the year was over. This one tells you while you can still do something about it. Used well, that estimate might be the most valuable thing MTD gives you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"bonus\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus tip #2: A \u00a30 quarter still needs an update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One to file under \u201cgood to know before it bites\u201d: earning nothing in a quarter doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s nothing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re signed up to MTD for Income Tax, every income source needs an update every quarter\u2014and when there\u2019s no activity, that means a nil update. It takes seconds in your software, but it does need to occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same logic applies on a bigger scale. Whether you\u2019re included to follow MTD rules is based on your past qualifying income, so a quiet year\u2014a rental property between tenants, a business you\u2019ve wound down\u2014doesn\u2019t automatically take you out of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your income needs to stay below the threshold for three consecutive tax years before you can leave MTD for Income Tax behind, and if you\u2019ve stopped trading altogether, you should tell HMRC rather than simply going silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until then, keep those nil updates ticking over: they\u2019re the easiest submissions you\u2019ll ever make, and they keep your record spotless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-thoughts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MTD for Income Tax has a reputation as extra admin, but look closer and the system is studded with easements designed to keep it light: early filing, batch record-keeping, simplified totals, flexible quarters and a first year with no late-filing penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So don\u2019t just comply. Take control. Pick the fixes that fit your situation, get your bank feed connected so future quarters run themselves, and start using that quarterly tax estimate to plan ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ten minutes now, four times a year, in exchange for the possibility of never being surprised by a tax bill again. That\u2019s a trade worth making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"frequently-asked-questions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1784558724355\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>When is the first MTD for Income Tax deadline?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The first quarterly update deadline is 7 August 2026. It covers 6 April to 5 July 2026 (or 1 April to 30 June if you elected calendar quarters) and is submitted through MTD-compatible software, not the HMRC website.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1784558734064\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Do I have to pay tax when I submit a quarterly update?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. A quarterly update is a summary of income and expenses only. Your tax payment dates are unchanged\u2014for most people, that\u2019s 31 January, plus payments on account where they apply.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1784558743216\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What happens if I miss the 7 August quarterly update deadline?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">HMRC has confirmed no late submission penalty points for quarterly updates during 2026\/27 for those mandated from April 2026. You must still submit the update eventually, as your year can\u2019t be finalised without it, and penalties apply as normal from 2027\/28.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1784558758401\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Do I need to categorise every expense for MTD for Income Tax?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not if your turnover is below \u00a390,000.
