Making Tax Digital (MTD)

Making Tax Digital (MTD)

Helping you stay compliant, and make it work for your business

Making Tax Digital is being introduced by HM Revenue & Customs to change how businesses and individuals report their tax. For many, this means a move away from annual tax returns to more regular digital reporting.

What is Making Tax Digital?

Making Tax Digital requires:

  • Digital record keeping
  • Use of compatible software
  • Regular submissions to HMRC during the year
  • A final declaration to confirm your position

This applies to:

  • Self-employed individuals
  • Landlords
  • and, over time, other types of taxpayers

What This Means in Practice

For many businesses, this represents a significant change.

It can involve:

  • changing how records are kept
  • increasing the frequency of reporting
  • ensuring accuracy throughout the year

Without the right systems in place, this can create additional work and risk.

How We Support You

We provide MTD support as part of our wider services, not as a standalone compliance exercise.

This means:

  • ensuring your records are suitable for digital reporting
  • preparing and submitting updates where required
  • reviewing your position during the year
  • helping you stay compliant with HMRC requirements

More Than Just Submissions

While MTD introduces more frequent reporting, it also creates an opportunity.

With the right approach, this can be used to:

  • improve visibility
  • understand your position during the year
  • make better decisions

We help clients take advantage of this, rather than simply treating it as an additional compliance burden.

How This Fits With our Services

MTD is typically delivered as part of:

Accounting & Tax Support
Where we manage compliance and reporting

Outsourced Finance Department
Where we maintain your records and handle submissions

This ensures everything works together, rather than being handled in isolation.
