    Why it is in this group

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Says whether a UK sole trader or landlord must use Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax, from when, and why, using the qualifying income tests in HMRC's rules (SI 2026/336). Give the person's income types and, for each tax year you know, their qualifying income: self-employment turnover plus property income before expenses, counting only their share of jointly owned property. Returns the start date, the reasons, GOV.UK sources and a link to the matching Landlord Lookout page.
