Making Tax Digital (MTD) will affect most businesses by changing how business records are kept and how tax information is sent to HMRC.
The first stage of MTD was for VAT returns, and we have successfully helped our VAT registered clients to meet their MTD obligations.
The next stage, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD for ITSA),will become mandatory for certain self-employed individuals and property landlords from 6 April 2026. We will be able to recommend suitable software and help you prepare.
From6 April 2023, we will also see changes to the ‘basis period’ rules for self-employed individuals that prepare accounts to a date other than 31 March or 5 April, with a number of considerations and choices to be made beforehand.If you are self-employed and your accounting date is not 31 March or 5 April, we will be able to advise you.
MTD for Income Tax for partnerships and limited companies will follow at a later date, and we will keep you informed of any news that affects you.
