Starting from April 2019 HMRC are starting to bring in a new initiative called Making tax Digital. Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC’s attempt to move to a digital tax environment – giving real time access to your Tax Information as well as moving you to digital record keeping and submission of tax information.
VAT is the first stage and all VAT registered companies over the registration threshold (bar a few exceptions) will need to keep records in a digital format as well as submit returns electronically to HMRC.
The next step will begin no earlier than 2026 and will encompass Income Tax.
Why is HMRC introducing it?
Making Tax Digital is intended to help you better keep track of how much tax you owe – or how much you are due back – throughout the financial year.
Easier contact with HMRC
Making Tax Digital will make it easier for you to contact HMRC online via webchats and secure messages.
