I've been working with GoForma for close to 3 years now, and literally haven't had a single complaint, not even one.
GoForma, particularly Jordan Macey from GoForma, have been fantastic from the moment I have been with them.
I'd highly recommend Goforma. They filed my tax return swiftly with clear and direct communication. Price was amazing. Jordan and Jawad were exceptional. I couldn't be more pleased with the efficiency and professionalism they provided.
GoForma, with Kabir and Parth, have been very helpful, friendly and patient in my first six months operating a limited company. I would highly recommend their services.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is a fundamental change to how self-employed individuals and landlords report income to HMRC. As well as filing your annual Self Assessment tax return, you need to keep digital records and send four quarterly updates of your income and expenses each year. Your tax return is still due by 31 January after the end of the tax year.
MTD for Income Tax applies to self-employed individuals and landlords with qualifying gross income above the threshold. From 6 April 2026, it applies to those whose qualifying income was over £50,000 in the 2024/25 tax year. The threshold falls to £30,000 from 6 April 2027 and to £20,000 from 6 April 2028. Qualifying income is calculated as gross self-employment turnover plus gross rental income before expenses.
Each quarter, you submit a summary of your income and expenses to HMRC through MTD-approved software. These updates do not change when you pay tax. Payment deadlines remain at 31 January and 31 July. After the fourth quarterly update, you still submit your tax return by 31 January following the end of the tax year.
Our Start Sole Trader + MTD package includes quarterly MTD submissions at a fixed monthly price. Get an instant online quote to see the right package for your situation.
