What is Making Tax Digital?

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is an initiative brought in by HM Revenue & Customs to digitalise and simplify the way we report our financial information and the tax owed.

The digitalisation of VAT, income and corporation tax is rolling out at different stages.


How does this affect my business?

From 1 April 2022 MTD for VAT is becoming compulsory for ALL VAT registered businesses.

This means the next VAT return you submit after the 1 April 2022 must be submitted to HMRC via a digital link.

Compliant accounting software must be used to keep your business records which will allow you to submit your information.

We recommend Xero as your cloud compliant solution.
