Making Tax Digital Services for UK Businesses
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC’s programme to move UK tax records and submissions onto digital, real-time systems. E-Tech Consultancy & Services is a UK-based MTD specialist, helping business finance teams choose the right software, migrate data cleanly, and stay compliant as HMRC’s rules continue to evolve.
Your dedicated partner for Making Tax Digital compliance — from first assessment through to ongoing, year-round support.
How E-Tech Supports your Making Tax Digital Transition
We work across every stage of MTD compliance for businesses — not just the initial software switch. Our MTD compliance services cover:
Digital Record-Keeping
We assess your current record-keeping and recommend MTD-compatible software suited to your size, budget, and workflow.
Cloud Accounting Integration
Hands-on setup and integration for Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and other leading cloud accounting platforms.

MTD Transition Strategy
For UK businesses, we design a phased rollout plan that minimises disruption to your day-to-day operations.
Staff Training & Client Onboarding
Practical training for your team and clear communication materials so everyone understands the new process with confidence.
Ongoing Compliance Monitoring
MTD doesn’t end at go-live. We provide ongoing monitoring and support as thresholds, rules, and software requirements evolve.
MTD Guide for Businesses
Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming MTD Compliant
Becoming MTD-compliant is a manageable project once it’s broken into clear stages. This is the process we follow with all our clients:
Assess Your Current Record-Keeping
Review how records are currently kept — spreadsheets, paper, or existing software — and identify gaps against MTD requirements.
Choose MTD-Compatible Software
Select software that fits your business , whether that's a full cloud accounting platform or bridging software for existing systems.
Migrate and Test Your Data
Move historical and current records into the new system and test submissions before you rely on them for live filings.
Train Your Team and Clients
Make sure your team understands the new process and knows where to go for support.
Go Live and Submit Digitally
Begin submitting through MTD-compatible software, with a clear point of contact if anything needs troubleshooting.
Monitor and Review
Check submissions are going through correctly and revisit your setup as your business grows or MTD rules change.
MTD Readiness Checklist
Use this quick MTD checklist to self-assess where your business currently stands:
- I know which MTD rules apply to my business, and from what date.
- My records are currently kept digitally, not on paper or in disconnected spreadsheets.
- My software is confirmed as HMRC-recognised and MTD-compatible.
- I have a plan for migrating historical data without losing accuracy.
- My team has had basic training on the new process.
- I have a process for reviewing submissions before and after they go to HMRC.
- I know who to contact if something goes wrong with a submission.

HMRC's Making Tax Digital Regulations
MTD is a legal requirement, not an optional upgrade. Under HMRC’s Making Tax Digital regulations, businesses and individuals within scope must keep digital records and submit information to HMRC using MTD-compatible software, rather than typing figures manually into HMRC’s online portal. MTD is being introduced in phases, and each tax stream affected by MTD has its own scope, thresholds, and timetable:
- VAT: VAT-registered businesses have been within MTD since 2022, regardless of turnover.
- Income Tax Self Assessment: being phased in for sole traders and landlords above set income thresholds, starting April 2026.
