This I've had a great experience working with Kelly & the team at Parallel Accounting Ltd. They’re always professional, responsive, and take the time to explain things clearly so I understand my finances better. Tax returns and general accounting have been handled smoothly and efficiently, which gives me real peace of mind. I’d definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant!

Not forgetting a quick shout out to George Nunn, who has been extremely helpful with handling the payroll.

Kelly and all the team at Parallel Accounting are fantastic and I couldn’t recommend them more highly for small business owners. Kelly is great with advice and I love the newsletters imparting useful operational knowledge - something as an owner operator I don’t often have time to research myself.

Amber is also particularly great at keeping on top of me and my monthly PAYE activity and reminders!!

Frequently Asked Questions 

A few of the questions often asked about MTD ITSA:

  • Who will MTD ITSA apply to?

     MTD ITSA will apply to sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 from April 2026.

    Those with qualifying income over £30,000 will be brought in from April 2027, with further expansion expected in April 2028.


    (Qualifying income is measured before expenses.)

  • What counts as qualifying income?

    Qualifying income is based on gross income, not profit.


    For sole traders, this is income based on invoices issued, before expenses.

    For landlords, this is rental income received, before expenses.


    Expenses do not reduce the figure used to decide whether MTD ITSA applies.

  • What if I'm both a sole trader and a landlord?

    If you have both business and property income, the figures are combined. This means the total can push you over the MTD ITSA threshold even if each activity is below it individually.

  • Does this apply to Limited Companies?

    No. MTD ITSA applies to sole traders and landlords only.


    Limited Companies are not included in MTD ITSA.

  • What needs to be submitted under MTD ITSA?

    MTD ITSA requires:


    Quarterly updates of income and expenses

    An end-of-period statement

    A final declaration, replacing the traditional Self Assessment return.


    We manage the reporting and submissions as part of an ongoing service.

  • When are the quarterly deadlines?

    Under MTD ITSA, quarterly updates must be submitted within one month of the quarter end.


    The standard quarters and filing deadlines are:

    7th May

  • When do you need information from me?

    To keep everything accurate and on time, we ask clients to provide their records within 10 days of the quarter end.


    This allows us to review, prepare and submit updates calmly — without last-minute pressure.

  • Do I need software for MTD ITSA?

    Yes. MTD ITSA requires compatible accounting software.


    If you’re already VAT-registered and using cloud software, this will feel familiar. If not, we’ll guide you onto a suitable system.

  • If you're unsure whether MTD ITSA applies to you, start and enquiry and we'll confirm your position.
