Practical tools and plain-English guidance
Start Here is the orientation layer for the tax site. It helps users decide whether the next step should be general MTD guidance, landlord help, record-keeping support, or software comparison.
Best use of this page
Users who are not yet sure where to begin can use this page to move into the right section without jumping too early into tools or product comparison.
Main routes
The two main routes below separate general MTD questions from property-specific questions, so users can move into the right content more quickly.
Sole traders and self-employed users
This route covers the main MTD questions for self-employment, including qualifying income, thresholds, quarterly updates, record-keeping support, and software comparison.
Landlords
This route covers landlord MTD basics, property record structure, jointly let property, landlord checklists, and software options that fit property income.
Recommended order
This order gives most users a clearer path through the site before tools and software decisions start competing for attention.
The guide hub explains what MTD is, who it affects, how qualifying income works, and how quarterly updates fit into the wider reporting cycle.
Open the guides
The start-date checker is most useful after the difference between qualifying income and profit is already clear.
