You may have seen previous blogs or newsletters from us regarding Making Tax Digital (MTD). However, here is a reminder.
What is MTD?
Making Tax Digital is an attempt made by the HMRC to do exactly what the name suggests. Currently, once a year, businesses have to file one headache of a document but once MTD is implemented, small businesses will be enforced to keep electronic records of their accounts using software which has been approved by HMRC. Business will have to file their tax information digitally and on a quarterly basis.
With a personal digital account, individuals will be able to send the information directly to HMRC and check details throughout the year to make sure that they are correct. This means there will be no more hunting around for receipts come tax time so in theory, an easier system all round.
Who will this affect?
From April 2019 if the business is currently above the VAT threshold (£85,000) businesses will need to keep their records digitally for VAT purposes.
It is likely smaller businesses will be required to keep digital records shortly after. This changes the way HMRC wants information from taxpayer and means that you may need to move from your existing desktop or manual record keep and onto an online accounting package
The good news is that AcuAccounts are certified in the installation and operation of Online Accounting software which is digitally compliant and specifically designed for small and medium-sized business.
