Do I pay tax every quarter under Making Tax Digital?

Do I pay tax every quarter under Making Tax Digital? No. A Making Tax Digital update is a report, not a payment. Tax is still due by 31 January and 31 July, exactly as before MTD started in April 2026. No. A quarterly update is a summary of your income and expenses. GOV.UK says Making Tax Digital does not change the way you pay tax or the dates payments are due. On the same dates as before: 31 January for any balancing payment and your first payment on account, and 31 July for your second payment on account. Yes. A Budget Payment Plan lets you pay weekly or monthly by Direct Debit towards your next bill. You must be up to date with your last bill to set one up.
