Let’s face it—taxes can be as enjoyable as a rainy bank holiday. But with the UK’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative, the process is becoming more streamlined and less of a chore. At AccNet Solutions Ltd, we’re here to guide you through this digital transformation, ensuring your business stays compliant and your stress levels remain low.
What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
MTD is a government initiative aimed at modernising the UK tax system. The goal is to make tax administration more effective, efficient, and easier for taxpayers through the implementation of a fully digital system. This means maintaining digital records and using compatible software to submit tax returns.
Who Needs to Comply with MTD?
The MTD rollout is happening in stages:
- MTD for VAT: Already mandatory for VAT-registered businesses with a taxable turnover above £85,000. From April 2022, it extended to all VAT-registered businesses, regardless of turnover.
- MTD for Income Tax Self-Assessment (ITSA): Set to apply from April 2026 for self-employed individuals and landlords with annual business or property income above £50,000. This threshold will decrease to £30,000 in April 2027.
- MTD for Corporation Tax: Expected to be introduced after 2026, with details still being finalised.
How Does MTD Benefit You?
Transitioning to MTD offers several advantages:
- Real-Time Financial Overview: With digital records, you can access up-to-date financial information, aiding better decision-making.
- Reduced Errors: Automated calculations and digital submissions minimise the risk of mistakes.
- Streamlined Processes: Say goodbye to piles of paperwork; digital records make information retrieval and management more efficient.
