A dedicated MTD service page is live.
Based on the public pages of Nineteen Accountants
Public MTD guidance and client-action review.
QuarterReady reviewed Nineteen's Making Tax Digital page and checked the self-employed and landlord section against the current HMRC timetable. The section currently begins with 'In April 2024', although the live Income Tax programme now has three staged start years.
Review finding
The clearest issue found.
The page explicitly names self-employed people and landlords.
A corporate general inbox is first-party published.
On the page checked, the self-employed and landlord paragraph begins 'In April 2024' and then stops mid-sentence. HMRC's current timetable starts the first Income Tax cohort on 6 April 2026, followed by cohorts in 2027 and 2028.
A sole trader or landlord may treat the page as out of date or conclude that they have already missed the relevant start point.
Evidence to action

Current MTD opening block
The draft below is tailored to the pages reviewed. Depending on the finding, it provides either public-page wording or exact wording changes. The firm checks shown below still need completing before anything is published in the firm's name.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is now in force for people whose 2024–25 Self Assessment return showed total gross income from self-employment and property above £50,000. Later cohorts are scheduled from 6 April 2027 above £30,000 and from 6 April 2028 above £20,000, using the relevant prior return. Qualifying income is measured before expenses.
Checked 30 August 2026: the next standard quarterly-update deadline is 7 November 2026.
Use this as a starting-point screen only. Eligibility, exemptions and individual circumstances still need checking against current HMRC guidance.
Time-sensitive draft. Recheck HMRC and replace the deadline line after 7 November 2026.
Draft stress-test
Three cases the draft should handle.
No client data was used. These are test cases for the wording and path.
2024–25 qualifying income was £52,000
Likely start: 6 April 2026The replacement must remove the stale 2024 start date and keep the eligibility caveat.
2025–26 qualifying income is £32,000
Likely start: 6 April 2027The relevant return year and threshold must stay paired.
The page is still live after 7 November 2026
The deadline line needs refreshingA visible checked date and content owner prevent another stale-date problem.

Free review boundary
From public draft to working system.
This review identifies a public-page issue and supplies a usable first draft. It does not inspect client records, software or internal delivery.
- Segmenting the real client portfolio by start year, income source, exemption route and risk
- Mapping software, digital records, authorisation and record ownership to each client
- Building the operational reminder sequence, exception queue and staff hand-off
- Implementing, testing and maintaining the workflow against live internal data
That work starts only with Nineteen Accountants's permission and access. The free draft remains available whether or not the firm continues.
