What is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital, often called MTD, is HMRC's move towards digital record keeping and online tax reporting. Instead of leaving everything until the end of the year, businesses and individuals who are in scope may need to keep digital records and submit updates throughout the year using compatible software.
For many small business owners, the worry is not just the tax itself. It is knowing what records to keep, what software to use, when submissions are due, and how to avoid things becoming messy.
How we can help
01
Check if MTD applies to you
We can help review your position and assess whether you are likely to fall within Making Tax Digital requirements. This includes looking at your business type, income, current bookkeeping process and how you currently report to HMRC.
Set up MTD compatible software
If you need to move away from spreadsheets or manual records, we can help set up MTD compatible software such as Xero and make sure your bookkeeping process is structured properly from the start.
02
Keep your records organised
We can support with regular bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, invoice posting, expense categorisation and digital record keeping, so your numbers are kept up to date throughout the year.
03
Support with quarterly submissions and year end reconciliation
We can help prepare the figures needed for quarterly submissions and support the year end process, making sure your records are tidy, complete and ready for final review.
