Making Tax Digital

Making Tax Digital for taxi drivers in Northern Ireland

Making Tax Digital is arriving in stages. We help Belfast and Northern Ireland taxi drivers get digital records and quarterly updates sorted before the deadline hits.

Making Tax Digital tax returns included on Silver and Gold. Setup also available by arrangement.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD IT) is one of the biggest changes to self-employed tax in years. Instead of one annual return habit, many drivers will need digital records, quarterly updates, and a final declaration.

We’re based in Belfast and help taxi drivers across Northern Ireland prepare early - not in the week before the first mandated quarter.

Does MTD apply to you?

It depends on your qualifying income (broadly turnover from self-employment and property, before expenses), phased over several years. High-turnover drivers are brought in first. Read the full breakdown: Making Tax Digital for taxi drivers.

If you’re unsure, ring us with a recent return or a rough turnover figure and we’ll place you on the timeline.

What we help with

  • Checking whether and when MTD applies to you
  • Getting your income & expenditure habits MTD-ready
  • Preparing and submitting Making Tax Digital tax returns (included on Silver and Gold)
  • Keeping your position tidy alongside any remaining Self Assessment obligations during the transition
  • Avoiding the penalty traps that come with missed quarterly updates

MTD setup is also available by arrangement on our à la carte list - useful if you need systems help before you join a monthly plan.

Why drivers leave this too late

App income, cash jobs, and vehicle costs make quarterly summaries harder if your books are a shoe box. Starting with a simple recording system now is the cheapest way to stay calm when your threshold year arrives.
