You can learn about how to sign up as an individual for MTD for ITSA on gov.uk.  While MTD for ITSA doesn’t come into effect until 6th April 2026, you can voluntarily sign up before then through some approved software providers (however, you can only join early if your income is from UK properties). This might help you get a headstart on familiarising yourself with the process, and you’ll help HMRC test and develop the new scheme. If you also have sole trader income, you can’t join if you have multiple (more than one) trader businesses. The crucial part of MTD for landlords is that you need to use compliant accounting software. So if you haven’t automated your book-keeping before, now’s the time to start.
