Optimum: LIVE Episode 22 - MTD for ITSA – What it really means for you

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD for ITSA) is coming, and if you’re self-employed or a landlord, the rules are changing significantly. In this episode of Optimum: LIVE, hosted by Chris Dawes from Visual PR Productions, we are joined by Optimum’s Kaci Luker (Accountant) and Mandy Gibson (Tax Supervisor) to explain what this major change means for you.

From whom it affects to what you’ll need to do differently, we break down MTD in simple, practical terms. This is essential viewing for anyone earning income outside of PAYE, especially sole traders, property landlords, and anyone currently submitting self-assessment tax returns.

In this episode, we cover:

• What MTD for ITSA actually is
• Who needs to comply and when it starts
• What quarterly submissions will look like in practice
• The impact on software, bookkeeping and deadlines
• Why acting early could save you time, money and stress

Whether you’re an individual preparing for the change or a business advising clients, this conversation will give you clarity and confidence ahead of the new requirements.
