Making Tax Digital · Income Tax

If you're self-employed, MTD applies to you from April 2026, 2027 or 2028.

It depends on your turnover. Once you're in, you keep digital records and send HMRC four updates a year plus a final declaration — through recognised software.

Miss one, and you're not compliant.
Sector-specific · CIS

Most software treats a subbie like a shop.

SmartScanit records what HMRC actually expects from a CIS subcontractor — gross income, the deduction tracked separately, materials split from labour, site-to-site mileage.

Register for early access

HMRC recognition is in progress. Leave your details and you'll be first in when it goes live — nothing to pay until then.

We'll only use this to tell you when SmartScanit MTD is live and to set your account up. No card details now.

You're on the list.

We'll text and email you the moment it's live, in your language.

Straight answers
Is SmartScanit MTD HMRC-recognised?

Recognition is in progress. Until it's confirmed we won't take payment, and the "send to HMRC" step isn't switched on. Registering now just puts you first in line.

Do you file for me?

No — and that's the point. Your figures are built from your records, you check them, and you send them from the app through your own Government Gateway. Nobody else touches your HMRC account.

What about the final declaration?

The four quarterly updates come first. The end-of-year final declaration follows in a later release, before the 31 January deadline.

I'm under the threshold this year — should I bother?

If you turn over £30,000+ you're in from April 2027; £20,000+ from April 2028. Keeping digital records now means no scramble later, and you'll have a full year of history when you join.

Does it do property income?

Not yet. This release is self-employment income only. If you also have UK or foreign property income you'll need software that supports it.

I already use your CIS portal — what changes?

Nothing yet. Your member portal keeps working exactly as it does now. When recognition lands you'll be moved across with your records intact.
