Sage & MTD Compliance: Why Sage Is Now the Platform to Watch for Making Tax Digital in 2026
With MTD for Income Tax kicking in from April 2026, Sage has moved fast — they've built a dedicated MTD Automation Agent right inside Sage Copilot that handles client categorisation, quarterly task scheduling, and early issue flagging for accountants managing multiple clients. No other major UK accounting platform has shipped anything close to that level of MTD-specific AI automation yet, which puts Sage in a genuinely strong position heading into the biggest compliance shift in years. If you're an accountant or bookkeeper trying to figure out how to manage quarterly digital reporting at scale without drowning in admin, Sage is the platform worth watching right now.
