What Is Making Tax Digital?
HMRC is replacing paper tax records with a digital system — and it affects you.
The Old Way
- Keep a paper diary or spreadsheet
- File one Self Assessment tax return a year
- Scramble to find receipts in January
- Hope you've recorded everything correctly
- Pay a large unexpected tax bill in January
The New Way (from April 2026)
- Digital income & expense records (mandatory)
- Submit quarterly updates to HMRC
- Final declaration once a year (replaces Self Assessment)
- Use HMRC-recognised software (like Riven)
- Know your tax bill throughout the year — no surprises
