MTD readiness checklist
Check your MTD start date based on your total yearly income
Open a dedicated business account to keep your finances separate
Use MTD-compatible software such as FreeAgent
Record every transaction digitally as it happens
Sign up for MTD on the HMRC website once you link your software
Note: Mettle customers can get FreeAgent for free if you meet eligibility criteria.
Working with an accountant
Your accountant can still help you with tax planning and checking your quarterly updates. They can link directly to your FreeAgent data through Mettle to make your Final Declaration easier.
