MTD

Making Tax Digital

From April 2019, businesses with a turnover above the VAT threshold of £85,000 will be required to keep digital records for VAT purposes. Following this, the full initiative will be rolled out, meaning all businesses will need to ensure all their accounting is done digitally.

What this means for accounting practices

As a result, accounting practices are being urged to prepare their clients for MTD, which means preparing their own businesses for the transition too. This is no mean feat, with extensive reviews necessary of both client and practice systems and processes. Education and strategic schedules are also essential to the effective conversion of clients to new practices, as is training on the online software.
