Making Tax Digital
Making Tax Digital, or MTD for short, is the UK Government’s drive to take the tax system entirely online. That means getting businesses to use software for all their financial record-keeping and reporting to HMRC, rather than paper records or copying and pasting from offline documents. Under MTD, businesses need to use HMRC-approved compatible software, such as QuickBooks.
In 2018, it became compulsory for businesses above the VAT threshold to comply with MTD for their VAT returns. From April 2022, all businesses must comply with MTD for VAT. Then, from April 2023, Making Tax Digital for income tax self-assessment (MTD for ITSA) applies to certain individuals, with MTD for corporation tax not expected to be many years behind.
We can audit your business’s MTD compliance and help you identify, source and setup suitable software so you can meet the requirements without missing a step.
Quickbooks
For most clients running small and medium-sized business, we recommend QuickBooks.
