We are delighted to be joined by Chris Downing from Sage will present MTD for Income Tax: Make Sure You’re Ready.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is now rapidly approaching and will become mandatory within the next 6 months for sole traders and landlords with a gross income of over £50,000 per year. We’ll have a refresh of the MTD for Income Tax legislation, take a look at the strategies you can adopt, and look at MTD compliant software, tools and innovation.

This talk will cover:

  • Refresh of the MTD for Income Tax legislation 
  • Implementing effective strategies 
  • Software and tools available
  • Innovation with the Sage MTD Agent
  • Addressing questions, you might have

This session is deigned to be both a refresher and a practical session to ensure you’re ready for its implementation in April 2026. It is therefore accessible to all accountants regardless of their background knowledge on the subject.

This is a FACE-TO-FACE NETWORKING EVENT which will also include:

  • an IFA update and welcome to new and fellow IFA members; and
  • an opportunity to network with other IFA members and professional colleagues. 

Open to non-members, we encourage you to bring your colleagues and if you have your own professional contacts, please consider inviting them along as well.
