HMRC IN 2026: READ THIS BEFORE THEY WRITE TO YOU

HMRC are moving into a new phase - more data, more platform reporting, and Making Tax Digital landing in April 2026 for a lot of sole traders, self-employed people and landlords. That means ordinary people will start getting brown envelopes that look scary.

In this video I break down:
✅ Why 2026 is a “watershed” year for HMRC
✅ How HMRC’s tech (Connect, data matching, platform reporting, even social media) is making it harder to “fly under the radar”
✅ The groups most at risk: online sellers, landlords, freelancers/side hustles, crypto traders, people with overseas income
✅ Why most letters are “fishing” — and how to stop a fishing expedition becoming a bill
✅ What MTD (Making Tax Digital) in April 2026 actually means for you — and why the real money is in penalties
✅ The simple protection plan: records, tax efficiency, and responding strategically
✅ When to bring in an accountant so you don’t over-pay

If you sort this out before HMRC contact you, you keep control. If you wait until there’s a brown envelope in your hand, you start from panic.
