Having consulted with HMRC on Making Tax Digital, Cloud Accounting is committed to supporting small businesses through the transition.
There are penalties for non compliance, late filing and/or payment as well as inaccurate returns. The sooner you speak to your accountant (or us!) the better.
What is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is part of the government’s plan to make it easier for businesses to stay on top of their day-to-day accounts. HMRC wants to be one of the most digitally advanced tax administrations in the world – improving efficiency, effectiveness and ease of compliance. The plans signal the end of paper accounting for millions across Britain.
From April 2019, legislation will require businesses above the VAT threshold to set up a digital tax account and file quarterly returns online. Preparation starts now, with businesses and accountants moving online to improve efficiency, boost profitability and make the transition painless.
