Making Tax Digital
Making Tax Digital is coming for self-employed performers. From April 2026, if you earn over the threshold, HMRC expects digital records and quarterly updates. Most performers have heard of it, few understand what it actually means for them.
What Gigflow does
If you're using Gigflow to track your gigs, expenses, and mileage, your records are already in the format MTD requires — digital, gig-by-gig, with dates and amounts. The MTD section in Gigflow shows your quarterly figures and lets you copy them to clipboard for pasting into bridging software or sending to your accountant.
Gigflow doesn't submit directly to HMRC — that's what bridging software or your accountant handles. What Gigflow does is make sure the underlying records are complete, accurate, and ready when you need them.
Blog launch
Alongside the MTD feature, we've launched the Gigflow blog at gigflow.co.uk/blog with articles covering mileage claims, Self Assessment for musicians, invoicing, allowable expenses, and getting started as a self-employed singer. All written by Lillie Kerman from a performer's perspective — practical, specific, no jargon.
Why it matters
MTD doesn't have to be complicated. If you're already logging gigs and expenses in Gigflow, you're doing the hard part without thinking about it. The records are there when you need them.
