Sole traders and landlords face 7 November deadline for second MTD quarterly update
HMRC is reminding sole traders and landlords with income above £50,000 that their second Making Tax Digital quarterly update is due by 7 November 2026. The update is a short digital summary of income and expenses sent through compatible software, and it is not a tax return. HMRC has also responded to common myths, including that no resending or calling is needed for corrections or status checks.
