MTD ITSA – what it means for partners

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies at individual partner level, not at partnership level.

Many partners will fall within Phase 1 of MTD ITSA because their self-employment income exceeded £50,000 in the 2024/25 tax year.

This introduces mandatory quarterly submissions and additional reporting requirements that sit alongside existing partnership obligations.

What we deliver

  • Partnership accounts
  • Partnership tax return
  • Partner Self Assessment returns, including MTD ITSA readiness
  • Capital accounts and profit-sharing schedules
  • VAT, payroll and CIS (where relevant)
  • Capital Gains Tax planning and reporting
  • HMRC correspondence and enquiries

How partnership tax works

Partnership compliance involves multiple layers: the partnership submits a partnership tax return, profits are allocated between partners, and each partner files an individual tax return.

MTD ITSA adds an additional reporting layer at partner level, making coordination, accuracy and forward planning critical.
