How it works
What the checker looks at.
MTD for Income Tax applies when your qualifying income is over the threshold on the tax return HMRC uses for each start date. Qualifying income is your self-employment turnover plus your gross property income, before expenses.
Salary, pensions, dividends, savings interest and partnership income don’t count. If you own property jointly, only enter your share of the rent.
This checker gives a general indication, not tax advice. Exemptions and special cases apply, so check HMRC’s guidance on GOV.UK or speak to an accountant if you’re unsure.
