Making Tax Digital Specialist in Helston Supporting Businesses Across Cornwall and Beyond
Making Tax Digital is changing the way businesses and landlords report their income to HMRC. For many people, the changes can feel confusing, overwhelming and time consuming. That's where Kernow Accountancy comes in.
Based in Helston, we help sole traders, landlords and small businesses across Cornwall and beyond prepare for Making Tax Digital with simple advice, practical support and real people you can actually speak to.
What is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital, often called MTD, is HMRC's move towards a fully digital tax system. Under the new rules, many businesses and landlords will need to keep digital accounting records, use compatible accounting software, submit quarterly updates to HMRC, and file tax information digitally.
The rollout starts in phases:
- April 2026 for those earning over £50,000
- April 2027 for those earning over £30,000
- April 2028 for those earning over £20,000
For many businesses, this means major changes to the way records are currently kept.
Why Choosing the Right MTD Accountant Matters
Not all accountants are preparing properly for Making Tax Digital. Some firms are outsourcing work overseas. Others rely heavily on automated systems with little personal support.
At Kernow Accountancy, we do things differently. We are based in Cornwall, our team lives and works locally, we do not outsource, you get real support from real people, and we explain things in plain English. We understand the challenges local businesses face because we work with them every single day.

We support a wide range of businesses and individuals preparing for MTD, including builders and tradespeople, landlords, cafés and hospitality businesses, hairdressers and beauty businesses, contractors, influencers and creators, and start-ups and growing businesses.
