More than one sole trade business and rental income will I need to do a separate submission ?

Under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, each sole trade business or rental property must have separate digital records, with individual quarterly updates and an End of Period Statement for each income source. If you have multiple businesses or rental properties, it is recommended to use separate bank accounts for each to stay organised. Although this increases administrative work, MTD-compatible software can help manage everything in one place and keep you compliant and in control.
