Introducing Making Tax Digital

VAT registered clients have already seen this working in practice with the digital software submission of their returns.

5th August 2024 will be the submission deadline for the first quarterly accounts submission.

What does this mean to business?

As a business you will be required to use some type of digital accounting software or app to keep your records up to date and by doing so be able to update HRMC on a quarterly basis.

An annual summary is then completed with tax claims and a declaration of other income.

Who does it apply to

2024 :

  • Sole trade businesses with a turnover of over £10,000
  • Tax payers with property income

2025

  • Simple Partnerships

2026 To be confirmed

  • Complicated Partnerships ones with corporate partners
  • Companies

Anyone in the Making Tax Digital system will no longer have to complete a self assessment return.
