Back to blog everyone

Welcome to the Aligned blog

Making Tax Digital is here. If you’re a sole trader, landlord, or accountant, you’ll need to file quarterly updates to HMRC digitally from April 2026.

We built Aligned because we believe your spreadsheet is already good enough. You shouldn’t have to scrap it and start over with expensive accounting software just because HMRC changed the rules.

This blog is where we’ll share practical guidance on getting set up, staying compliant, and making the most of Aligned. No jargon, no upselling - just useful information.

What to expect

  • Practical how-to guides for landlords, sole traders, and accountants
  • MTD deadline reminders so you never miss a quarterly update
  • Product updates as we add new features
  • Plain-English explainers for the bits of MTD that don’t make sense

If you have questions or suggestions for topics, drop us a line at hello@aligned.tax.
