Do I need Making Tax Digital if I have a job and self-employed income?

Do I need Making Tax Digital if I have a job and self-employed income? Only if your self-employed turnover, plus any rent, is over the threshold before expenses. Your wages are ignored. Over £30,000 in the 2025-26 tax year means Making Tax Digital from 6 April 2027. No. GOV.UK lists employment (PAYE) income among the sources that do not count. Only self-employment and property income before expenses make up your qualifying income. Not on those figures. Your qualifying income is the £12,000, which is under £20,000, the lowest threshold. You still report the weekend work on a Self Assessment tax return. No. Quarterly updates cover only your self-employment and property income and costs. Your employer keeps reporting your pay through PAYE, and HMRC adds it to the tax estimate it shows you. Read the full answer, with every source, at rightotax.co.uk.
