MTD for Income Tax: service availability page updated
HMRC updated its Making Tax Digital for Income Tax service availability page on 6 May 2026. The page is where HMRC publishes details of any known problems or planned downtime affecting the MTD for Income Tax service.
The source announcement does not describe a specific outage or new issue — it is a routine update to the status page. No action is needed right now, but it is worth bookmarking the page if you are already using MTD-compatible software to send income tax updates.
If you are a sole trader, landlord, or small business and you notice a problem submitting updates through your software, checking this page is the quickest way to find out whether HMRC is aware of it.
