Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is here
Since 6 April 2026, sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 have had to keep digital records and send HMRC quarterly updates. The threshold drops to £30,000 in April 2027 and £20,000 in April 2028.

Frequently asked questions
How does Pivotal Accountants work?
You tell us what you need through our short form. We pass your enquiry to a local accountancy firm that covers your area, and they contact you to talk it through and give you a quote.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free for you, and there's no obligation to go ahead with the accountant we put you in touch with. The accountancy firms pay us to be listed.
Are you an accountancy firm?
No. Pivotal Accountants is a free matching service. We don't give tax or accounting advice ourselves. Your accountant does that, and you agree terms directly with them.
How quickly will I hear back?
Usually within one working day. If you have a deadline coming up, mention it in the form.
How much does an accountant cost?
It depends on what you need. As a rough guide: a simple Self Assessment tax return from about £150 to £400, sole trader accounts and tax return from about £300 to £900 a year, and a small limited company from about £1,000 to £2,500 a year. Always ask for a fixed fee in writing.
How do I know an accountant is properly qualified?
Anyone can call themselves an accountant in the UK, so ask which professional body they belong to, such as ICAEW, ACCA, ICAS, CIMA, AAT or CIOT. Members have to follow professional rules, hold insurance and be supervised for anti-money laundering.
Can I change accountant part way through the year?
Yes. Your new accountant will ask your old one for a handover, take over as your agent with HMRC and carry on from your last filings.
