Making Tax Digital
MTD for Income Tax is now rolling out.
HMRC is introducing MTD for Income Tax in stages for qualifying sole traders and landlords. Cherry Tax is being built around digital record-keeping and the new reporting workflow.
What MTD means in practice
Eligible users need compatible software to keep digital records, send quarterly updates and complete their tax return. Cherry Tax's HMRC integration is currently in development.
6 Apr 2026
Income over £50,000MTD for Income Tax applies based on qualifying 2024–25 self-employment and property income.
6 Apr 2027
Income over £30,000The next qualifying group enters MTD based on 2025–26 income.
6 Apr 2028
Income over £20,000The threshold reduces again for qualifying 2026–27 income.
Thresholds refer to qualifying gross income from self-employment and property. Check GOV.UK for your individual circumstances and exemptions.

A few things worth knowing.
Who is Cherry Tax for?
Cherry Tax is being built for UK individuals who need to organise information for Self Assessment, including sole traders, freelancers, landlords, side hustlers and people with multiple income sources.
Can Cherry Tax submit directly to HMRC today?
Not yet. HMRC Developer Hub integration, MTD Income Tax connectivity and direct submission workflows are in development and will only be made available after the required testing and approvals.
Does Cherry Tax support bank feeds?
The current roadmap starts with CSV bank imports and AI categorisation. Paid Open Banking is planned for a later phase using an appropriate regulated provider arrangement.
Is Cherry Tax the same as Cherry Money?
Cherry Tax is the personal tax experience within the wider Cherry Money product family. Cherry Money focuses more broadly on business finance, bookkeeping, invoicing, banking workflows and financial intelligence.
Is the tax estimate professional tax advice?
No. Estimates and AI guidance are designed to help you organise and understand your information. Your actual tax position depends on your circumstances, HMRC rules and the information you provide.
Your tax year deserves a calmer home.
