MAKING TAX DIGITAL & CLOUD ACCOUNTING

Making Tax Digital is coming...

We’re here to help you prepare for the change.

Although Making Tax Digital (MTD) seems like a big change for businesses and individuals alike, the MTD scheme will in fact make it easier to manage, report and pay your taxes to HMRC. And we’re here to help you every step of the way.
​
What is “Making Tax Digital”?
It’s HMRC’s biggest change to the tax system in decades, aiming to take the whole operation into the digital sphere in the next few years.


MTD for VAT rolled out for businesses with annual turnover above £85,000 
from April 2019, and extended to all VAT-registered businesses, regardless of turnover, from April 2022. 

 

So, what’s next? MTD for Income Tax. It's set to make significant changes to how some of those registered for Self Assessment file their taxes.

 

What does it mean for me? 

If you’re eligible, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for ITSA) will replace the current requirement to file an annual Self Assessment tax return. Instead, you’ll use software, like QuickBooks, to keep digital records and file updates at least every quarter through MTD-compatible software to HMRC. 

 

MTD for Income Tax is set to roll out from April 2024 and will cover all unincorporated business and landlords for Self Assessment with annual business/rental 
income over £10,000.
