Making Tax Digital (MTD) with The Paperwork Team
Simple, stress free digital tax reporting for sole traders, landlords and small
businesses.
From April 2026, HMRC is moving Self Assessment to Making Tax Digital. That means quarterly submissions, approved software, and accurate digital records all year round.
If the thought of more admin, new apps or extra deadlines feels overwhelming, don’t worry, we’ve got this handled.
We’ve built three clear MTD packages designed to keep your business compliant, and give you more time, clarity and confidence every quarter.

Reduces document collection time by 71% and errors by 52%.
Quarterly reviews for no more tax bill surprises
Better planning, better cash flow, fewer shocks.
Clear, fair pricing with no surprise fees
Everything we agree upfront, calls, emails, quarterly reviews, portal access.

Quarterly reviews mean no surprise tax bills.
Why MTD matters, and why acting early helps
- HMRC deadlines will become stricter
- Quarterly reporting will replace one annual return
- Digital records must be accurate all year
Penalties apply for missed submissions.
From April 2026, MTD will apply to anyone earning £50,000+. However, anyone whose income is between £30,000 and £50,000 is strongly encouraged to get ahead of the game. MTD is coming very soon, and starting early gives your business a healthy head start.
You can save time, avoid last-minute stress, and begin building good digital habits now. Starting early means:
- avoiding last minute stress
- a smooth transition into the new rules
- getting your systems right before it becomes compulsory

£30,000+), yes from April 2026.

Yes, that’s exactly what Copilot and Navigator are designed for.

Not necessarily. Coconut is perfect for many sole traders. We’ll help you choose.

We offer catch up reconciliation, shoebox sorting and onboarding support.
Is there a contract?
No long term lock ins, just simple monthly pricing.
