What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
MTD is HMRC's initiative to digitise the tax system. It requires businesses to keep digital records and file returns using compatible software. Currently mandatory for most VAT‑registered businesses, it will soon extend to Income Tax and Corporation Tax.
Do I have to be MTD compliant?
If you're a VAT‑registered business with taxable turnover above £90,000, MTD for VAT is mandatory. For those below the threshold, you can volunteer. MTD for Income Tax will become mandatory in the coming years. We'll advise you on your exact obligations.
What software do I need?
You need HMRC‑recognised MTD‑compatible software. We work with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent and others. If you already use software, we'll check its compatibility. If not, we'll recommend the best option for your business and set it up for you.
Can you help if my books are behind?
Absolutely. We regularly help clients catch up on late or disorganised records. We'll carry out a bookkeeping catch‑up to bring everything up to date before starting your ongoing MTD service.
What if I already have a bookkeeper?
We can work alongside your existing bookkeeper to ensure MTD compliance, or we can take over the bookkeeping entirely – whichever works best for you. We'll coordinate with them to ensure a smooth transition.
How much does MTD compliance cost?
Our MTD packages start at £65/month for basic VAT filing, with all‑inclusive plans from £125/month. We'll provide a fixed monthly quote based on your transaction volume and specific needs – no hidden fees.
