Why Capium’s MTD software is a smart choice for accountants 

Making Tax Digital (MTD), the government’s initiative to digitalise the UK tax system, is transforming the way accountants and their clients manage tax compliance.  

As of April 2022, it became mandatory for all VAT registered businesses, regardless of turnover, to keep and maintain digital records and submit tax returns directly to HMRC using compatible software. In 2026, these rules will apply to income tax self-assessment, too.  

As an accountant, that means it’s important for you to have a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly solution to support your clients in place as soon as possible. But with a range of options on the market, how are you supposed to choose?  

Here, we’ve outlined why Capium’s MTD software is a smart choice.  

Simplified compliance with MTD 

First things first, our MTD software is designed to make VAT compliance as easy as possible for you and your clients. If it’s down to accountants to migrate clients onto the cloud or connect them with bridging software, it’s our job to make it as simple and straightforward as possible for you to do that.  

Our MTD software is recognised by HMRC and allows you to submit VAT returns directly, without the need for manual intervention. With automated tax calculations, digital record-keeping, and direct submission, you can reduce errors and avoid compliance risks. 

And for those clients still using spreadsheets, we offer bridging capabilities that allow you to import and link spreadsheet data with the software – meaning records can be maintained at source, while still complying with MTD for VAT.  

Streamlined tax submissions 

It’s no secret that the roll-out of MTD, with its changing dates and requirements, has been viewed as a headache by some in the industry. But one of the biggest advantages to MTD’s introduction is how much simpler the tax submission process becomes with software. 

Capium’s MTD software integrates real-time tax data, which makes it easy for you to monitor client VAT obligations, view bills, and file returns easily. You can submit returns directly and securely from within the software without having to add data manually, as well as access detailed reports that help spotlight issues ahead of time, and set automatic reminders connected to deadlines.  

Efficiency, automation, and integration 

MTD software may streamline VAT submissions, but it also makes things more efficient overall – by leaning on automation to complete the repetitive, manual tasks that go hand in hand with tax reporting.  

One of the things that makes this automation so effective is that MTD software doesn’t just work in isolation – it should form part of a fully integrated accounting ecosystem. 

With Capium, that means that, if you’re already using bookkeeping or tax modules, MTD for VAT becomes a natural extension of your existing workflow. And, if you’re using other software, our bridging solution (mentioned above) can help smooth the transition to MTD compliance, without overhauling your entire system.  

Improved client collaboration 

Finally, helping clients transition to MTD can be a challenge – especially those who (like traditional accountants) aren’t familiar or used to keeping records digitally. Which is why it’s important to make sure that whichever MTD software you select has a user-friendly interface – designed to make it easy for businesses to upload and manage their information, rather than create further barriers.  

If clients find software easy to use (and feedback tells us Capium’s is particularly user-friendly), they’re more likely to, well, use it. Which can mean good things for collaboration – if software centralises and automates elements of your client communication, you’ll spend less time chasing missing information or making sure filings are accurate and on time.  

Why choose Capium’s MTD software? 

Capium’s MTD software is more than just a compliance tool. It’s designed to improve efficiency, streamline tax submissions, and enhance collaboration between accountants and clients. Whether you’re preparing for MTD for IT or looking for a seamless VAT solution, Capium provides a user-friendly, integrated approach that helps your firm stay ahead of regulatory changes. 

To make sure Capium’s MTD software works for you, and understand how it simplifies, rather than complicates, compliance, we’d love to invite you to sign up for a free trial

How Accounting in the UK Has Changed Over the Last Decade: Top 5 Transformations https://www.capium.com/how-accounting-in-the-uk-has-changed-over-the-last-decade-top-5-transformations/ https://www.capium.com/how-accounting-in-the-uk-has-changed-over-the-last-decade-top-5-transformations/#respond Mon, 13 Jan 2025 15:15:44 +0000 https://www.capium.com/?p=16331 How Accounting in the UK Has Changed Over the Last Decade: Top 5 Transformations Over the last decade, accounting in the UK has evolved at an unprecedented pace. Advanced technologies, regulatory reforms, and shifting market demands have driven this transformation, redefining how accountants work and serve their clients. Here are the top five changes that have shaped the UK accounting profession over the past ten years. 1. The Digital Transformation of Accounting The advent of cloud-based accounting software has completely reshaped the accounting landscape. Gone are the days of paper-based records and manual spreadsheets. Today, tools like Capium, Xero, and QuickBooks enable accountants to access real-time financial data, automate repetitive tasks, and collaborate seamlessly with clients. Moreover, innovations like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have introduced features like predictive analytics, automated invoicing, and error reduction. As a result, accountants now spend less time on data entry and more on delivering strategic advice, becoming trusted business advisors instead of just number crunchers. 2. Regulatory Overhauls Regulatory changes have played a pivotal role in reshaping the UK accounting profession. The introduction of Making Tax Digital (MTD) in 2019 was a game-changer. Designed to digitise tax reporting, MTD requires businesses to maintain digital records and file returns electronically, ensuring greater compliance and efficiency. Accountants have also had to adapt to changing accounting standards, such as IFRS 16 for leases, and stricter penalties for non-compliance have made staying up to date essential. As regulations evolve, accountants have increasingly become compliance experts, helping businesses navigate complex tax and reporting requirements. 3. The Rise of Sustainability Reporting With the growing emphasis on sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting, accountants now play a vital role in shaping a company’s social responsibility initiatives. Frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) have become standard practices for UK firms, requiring accurate reporting on environmental impact, diversity, and governance metrics. Accountants are instrumental in ensuring these reports align with investor expectations and regulatory guidelines. 4. The Impact of Brexit Brexit, which became a reality in 2020, introduced significant challenges for accountants in the UK. The departure from the EU led to new customs processes, VAT rules, and trade complexities that required businesses to adjust their operations. For accountants, this meant not only navigating new rules but also guiding businesses through financial uncertainties, renegotiated trade agreements, and supply chain disruptions. The ability to provide strategic insights has become a critical skill in the post-Brexit accounting world. 5. A Focus on Cybersecurity and Data Protection The shift to digital systems has made cybersecurity and data protection top priorities for accountants. The implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018 was a watershed moment, establishing stricter guidelines for handling and securing client data. Accountants now play a dual role as financial advisors and data protection advocates, ensuring compliance with GDPR and implementing cybersecurity measures to guard against fraud and data breaches. This emphasis on data security has opened new opportunities, such as offering cybersecurity audits as an added service. The Profession Redefined Over the past decade, UK accounting has evolved into a more dynamic, tech-savvy, and strategy-focused profession. Accountants are no longer just bookkeepers but trusted advisors who help businesses embrace digital innovation, navigate complex regulations, and drive sustainable growth. Ready to Start 2025 with the Right Tools? Stay ahead in this ever-evolving industry with Capium, the all-in-one cloud-based accounting software designed for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities. ✅ Simplify compliance with built-in MTD features. ✅ Enhance efficiency with automated workflows. ✅ Deliver value with real-time financial insights.
