Exemptions from MTD for ITSA

Exemptions

Income exemptions

If your total combined income from self-employment and property is less than £50,000, you are currently exempt from MTD for ITSA until 2027 where the threshold becomes £30,000.

It is important to note that the threshold is based on your total sales, not your profit.

They are subject to an insolvency procedure.
The business is run entirely by practising members of a religious society or order whose beliefs are incompatible with using electronic communications or keeping electronic records.

Other exemptions

The following are also exempt:

Non-resident companies.
Trustees, executors and administrators.
