MAKING TAX DIGITAL FOR BUSINESS

Begins on 1st April 2019 with MTD for VAT 

remain compliant with our guidance

“Making Tax Digital (MTD) is an HMRC initiative designed to make sure the UK tax system is effective, efficient and easier for taxpayers”.

By preparing early, business owners can rest assured they will be compliant when the new regulations are introduced.

We are here to help you understand why digital tax management is becoming mandatory. We have a specialist team ready to help with your move to the best software available.

VAT-registered businesses above the threshold of £85k will be expected to keep digital records and submit VAT returns using compatible software. Other components of Making Tax Digital, such as income tax and corporation tax, have been placed on hold until April 2020 at the earliest.

What are the key benefits?

More effective – Tax recording will be more accurate, providing fewer opportunities for errors, miscalculations and fraudulent activity.

More efficient – The process will be faster and more automated, not only for businesses, but for accountants and HMRC, helping save valuable time.

Easier to manage – With the right software, MTD will make it easier for small businesses to record and file their tax returns online.
