Instead:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 You must keep digital records of income and expenses.<br \/>\n\u2022 You\u2019ll send quarterly updates to HMRC (every 3 months).<br \/>\n\u2022 You\u2019ll submit an End of Period Statement (EOPS) for each business or property.<br \/>\n\u2022 You\u2019ll complete a final declaration confirming all income and claiming reliefs.<\/p>\n<p>All submissions must be made using HMRC-compatible software. Paper records alone won\u2019t meet the requirements (though spreadsheets may be used if digitally linked to approved software).<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udcbc How Your Accountant Can Help You<\/p>\n<p>This may sound like a big shift, but your accountant can take most of the burden off your shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 1.

Help You Go Digital<br \/>\nThey\u2019ll recommend suitable software, set up systems, and provide training \u2014 or manage the process for you.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 3. Keep You Compliant<br \/>\nThey\u2019ll submit updates on time and help you avoid penalties.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 4. Improve Financial Visibility<br \/>\nDigital records provide real-time insights into income, expenses, and tax liabilities, helping you make better business decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f Key Dates to Remember<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Now \u2014 Speak to your accountant and start preparing<br \/>\n\u2022 April 2026 \u2014 Mandatory for income over \u00a350,000<br \/>\n\u2022 April 2027 \u2014 Applies to \u00a330,000\u2013\u00a350,000 income<br \/>\n\u2022 April 2028 \u2014 Planned extension to income over \u00a320,000<br \/>\n\u2022 Quarterly \u2014 Regular digital updates to HMRC required<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcac Final Thoughts<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to be a tech expert.
