Switch to calendar periods for Making Tax Digital Income Tax

Change your Making Tax Digital (MTD) Income Tax report to use calendar period dates in AccountsPrep.

Written by Rachel

By default, the MTD Income Tax report uses tax year dates from 6 April to 5 April.

You can switch to calendar period dates from the Income Tax report.

  1. Open the Income Tax report.

  2. Select Manage Business Details.

  3. Select Switch to calendar period.

  4. Review the confirmation message, then select Confirm.

Your MTD Income Tax report will now use calendar period dates.

📎NOTE: Once you submit your first quarterly update to HMRC, you can't change the quarter type for that tax year.

HMRC records your chosen quarter type when you make your first submission.
