Digital Links (The "No Typing" Rule)
HMRC requires an unbroken "digital path" from your first receipt to your final submission. Manual re-typing of data is now a compliance risk.

Direct Answer
A digital link is an electronic transfer of data between software products. Under MTD, if you move data (e.g., from a spreadsheet to your tax software), it must be done via a link (like an upload or API), not by manual typing.

The Rule
- If you are using multiple pieces of software, then they must be "digitally linked" to ensure the data remains accurate and hasn't been tampered with.
