Sole Traders: Income Tax

Asked by Ruth CadburyLabourTreasuryTabled Answered 9 June 2025UIN 54840

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Making Tax Digital for Income Tax scheme on sole traders who are digitally excluded.

Answered by James Murray

The government recognises that not everyone is able to interact with HMRC digitally. Customers that consider themselves digitally excluded will be able to apply for an exemption from Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. HMRC will provide further information about the exemption process later in 2025.
