Taxation: Electronic Government
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent estimate she has made of whether the rollout of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax will be completed by April 2026.
Answered by James Murray
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is an ambitious reform that will support modernisation of the tax system.
The government is working collaboratively with HMRC and external stakeholders to bring the first businesses and landlords into MTD for Income Tax.
Reflecting its status within the Government Major Projects Portfolio, the MTD programme is subject to strong governance and independent assurance by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority.
