Clear help with digital tax reporting
Making Tax Digital can feel like one more rule on an already busy list, but we help make it far more manageable. We guide individuals and businesses through HMRC's digital reporting requirements so you know what applies to you and what needs to happen next. From MTD for Income Tax to MTD for VAT, we explain the process in plain language and help you avoid the confusion that often comes with changing systems.
Andrew Winterburn Ltd supports clients in Bromyard with practical advice that turns paperwork and spreadsheets into a cleaner digital setup. That means fewer reporting errors, better organised records, and less last-minute panic when deadlines start creeping up. We focus on getting your records working properly day to day, because good compliance usually starts long before a return is submitted.
Getting your systems working properly
Old manual records can slow everything down, especially when you need quick answers from your figures. We help you choose HMRC-approved accounting software, set it up properly, and migrate existing records without making the whole thing feel like a drama.
Our support also covers digital bookkeeping management, training on the system you use, and help with submitting updates and returns correctly. Our team keeps the process grounded and practical, so you're not left staring at a screen wondering what button to press next. Around Bromyard, that kind of steady support can make the move to digital feel a lot less daunting.

Who MTD for income tax applies to and when
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax covers individuals, not limited companies, so your company accounts carry on as normal. Directors with personal rental or self-employed income can still be brought in.
Qualifying income means gross self-employment and property income combined. Salary and dividends don’t count. The threshold drops each year:
-
April 2026: over £50,000 in 2024/25
-
April 2027: over £30,000 in 2025/26
-
April 2028: over £20,000 in 2026/27
Each start date depends on your self-assessment return from two tax years earlier, so check your figures before you submit that return. Our digital tax services can confirm your start date.
Quarterly updates and the final declaration
Quarterly tax reporting means sending one update per income source through compatible tax software, by 7 August, 7 November, 7 February, and 7 May. These updates don’t involve paying any tax, and because each one covers the year so far, a missed invoice can simply go into the next.
Everything is then brought together in a final declaration, due 31 January after the tax year, which adds any other income and closes off the year’s income tax reporting.
MTD for landlords
The threshold is based on gross rent, so £32,000 of rent in 2025/26 normally means MTD from April 2027, even if repairs halve the profit.
Joint owners count only their own share, and all UK lets are treated as one income source, with overseas property as a second. Where a letting agent is involved, it’s worth agreeing early on how their quarterly statements will reach you. As an ICAEW chartered practice, Andrew Winterburn Ltd helps Bromyard landlords keep their rent and self-employed figures in order, so each update goes to HMRC on time.
