IsMyTaxDigital is built and maintained by Mehmet Demir, a software engineer based in the UK. This site is an independent side project, not a business.

Why I built this

I built IsMyTaxDigital because the official HMRC pages on Making Tax Digital are accurate but dense, and most other resources online are accountancy-firm landing pages designed to capture leads. I wanted a quick, neutral, plain-English answer to one question: do I need to do MTD, and if so, when?

The site started as a weekend project to help a friend who runs a small property portfolio work out whether the new rules applied to him. It grew from there.

What I am, and what I am not

I am a software engineer, not a chartered accountant or a tax adviser. I do not give personal tax advice, and nothing on this site should be treated as a substitute for a qualified professional looking at your specific situation.

Every calculation and result on this site is grounded in HMRC's published guidance, with direct gov.uk links so you can check the source. The full logic for each tool is documented on the methodology page.

If you spot something that looks wrong, please tell me. The editorial and corrections policy explains how I handle reports.

Independence

The site is not affiliated with HMRC, gov.uk, or any accountancy firm or software vendor. As of 2 May 2026, it carries no advertising, sponsored content, or affiliate links. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed clearly on the relevant pages and in the editorial policy.
