# MTD Pilot Information

This relates to the 2025/26 Financial Year.
You'll need an active eligible 2025/26 package to use our pilot.

We're excited to launch a new pilot of the Making Tax Digital Service for 2024/25 which provides consultants with a unique opportunity to use the system before it formally launches in 2026.

Key features

- You can see how the process works on a quarterly basis, submitting your figures electronically from your cloud spreadsheet (Essentials/Advanced only. For Premium members, we'll ask you for your details as normal and confirm the figures quarterly).
- You'll be able to view up to date financial calculations based on your current income and expenses
- Our system will prompt you each month to complete your cloud accounts - and send a notification when the MTD window opens to 'prepare' your submission
- You can follow through the full process for preparing and submitting your accounts
- No data is sent to HMRC during the pilot, and you won't be charged any penalties if you accidently miss a quarter!

This therefore is a great opportunity to get into the routine of MTD with a full year of practice with no penalties, charges or points!

## How to opt-in

You can opt-in to our pilot through your [Making Tax Digital dashboard](https://portal.malgrabooks.co.uk/mtd/).

Once opted-in, you'll receive a notification at the end of each quarter (June, September, December and March) to prepared your final accounts and 'submit them' for processing.

## How to submit your data

You can find out how to do this on our [dedicated article](https://tax.malgrabooks.co.uk/knowledge-base/making-tax-digital-mtd-reports)!

## How to opt-out

If you decide you don't want to continue with the pilot, you can also manage this through your [Making Tax Digital dashboard](https://portal.malgrabooks.co.uk/mtd/).

Removing yourself from our pilot **does not**remove you from HMRC's MTD obligations which begin from April 2026.
