HMRC’s April 2026 MTD rules just turned every sole trader’s life upside down. 💀
If your turnover is >£50,000, you’re officially mandated. But here’s the trap: it’s based on GROSS sales, not profit.
You could be making £20k profit and still be forced into quarterly updates.
I wrote a deep dive into why the August 7th deadline is the biggest trap for UK sole traders in 2026. If you're over £50k turnover, read this before you file anything.

Just realized we’re less than 90 days from the first MTD tax deadline (Aug 7). If you’re a UK sole trader, the old "save 25% and hope" method is officially dead for 2026.

Biggest shock for 2026? The tiered National Insurance.
It’s not a flat rate anymore. Between the new 6% NI band and the 40% tax threshold, guessing your tax bill is a dangerous game.
Most people are over-saving or, worse, missing the August 7th deadline. So I built a fix.
