What is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital requires businesses to keep digital records, use Making Tax Digital-compatible software and submit quarterly updates to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
The main aims of Making Tax Digital are to:
- maximise tax revenue
- make the tax system more effective and efficient
- improve customer service
HMRC introduced the first phase of Making Tax Digital in 2019, which covered VAT. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (ITSA) is next on the cards, followed by Corporation Tax.
If you would like us to help you through these changes then call us today on 01922 744955 or contact us online here to arrange a free initial consultation.
