New podcast series helps sole traders and landlords navigate MTD for income tax

9 September 2025

Start Your Own Business podcast launches new series on Making Tax Digital for income tax in partnership with TaxAssist Accountants

The Start Your Own Business podcast has announced the launch of a brand-new four-part series dedicated to helping sole traders and private landlords navigate the upcoming changes to Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax.

With MTD due to come into effect in April 2026, millions of individuals will need to adapt to digital record-keeping and quarterly reporting for the first time. The series will break down what this means in practice, explain who is affected, and provide practical advice to help business owners and landlords prepare with confidence.

Each episode will feature expert insights, clear guidance, and tips on the tools and systems available to make the transition smoother. From understanding eligibility and deadlines, to choosing software and staying compliant, the series aims to demystify MTD and give listeners the knowledge they need to stay ahead of the changes.

The series is supported by TaxAssist Accountants, the UK’s largest network of small business accountants, who bring a wealth of experience in supporting self-employed individuals and property owners through tax and compliance changes.

Fiona Prior, host of the Start Your Own Business podcast said, "Making Tax Digital represents a significant shift in how millions of people manage their finances. Our goal with this series is to take away the jargon and give sole traders and landlords the clear, actionable guidance they need to feel prepared and supported."

Episodes will be released weekly and will be available to stream on all major podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. The first episode, featuring Jo Nockels FCCA FMAAT of TaxAssist Accountants, explores how MTD for income tax will impact sole traders and small private landlords when it is introduced next April.
