Making Tax Digital is here.
From April 2026, sole-trader heating & plumbing engineers earning over £50k must keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC. Gas Engineer Software sends all your invoices and payments to your accounts as you work — so you’re MTD-ready, automatically.
Stay compliant without losing a day to paperwork.
What's changing — and when it affects you
HMRC is rolling out MTD for Income Tax in three waves. Here's where you fit.
Sole traders earning over £50,000
Quarterly digital submissions to HMRC are now mandatory. If you're in this band, you need MTD-compatible software in place.
Sole traders earning over £30,000
Same rules apply. If you're nearing this threshold, now's the time to get your digital records in order.
Sole traders earning over £20,000
The threshold drops again. Almost every working heating and plumbing engineer will be in scope by this date.
Five submissions a year — at a glance
Four quarterly updates throughout the year, plus one Final Declaration after it ends.
HMRC also lets you elect for calendar quarter reporting (1 Apr–30 Jun, etc.) if that's easier — speak to your accountant about which suits you best.
The integration with QuickBooks was seamless. GES is time-saving software that helps me stay on track.
BENEFITS OF GOING DIGITAL
What’s now on your plate
Keep digital records of every transaction
HMRC expects you to keep every invoice raised, payment received and expense incurred electronically. With GES, that’s sorted.
Submit on time, four times a year
With four quarterly deadlines plus the final declaration, MTD makes life difficult for those without a proper system in place.
Maintain a clear digital audit trail
All your invoices and payments need to make their way into your accounting software – preferably without manual re-entry.
