Making Tax Digital

accountants who make a difference

Making Tax Digital (MTD) will affect most businesses by changing how business records are kept and how tax information is sent to HMRC.

The first stage of MTD was for VAT returns, and we have successfully helped our VAT registered clients to meet their MTD obligations.

 

The next stage, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD for ITSA),will become mandatory for certain self-employed individuals and property landlords from 6 April 2026. We will be able to recommend suitable software and help you prepare.

 

From 6 April 2023, we will also see changes to the ‘basis period’ rules for self-employed individuals that prepare accounts to a date other than 31 March or 5 April, with a number of considerations and choices to be made before hand. If you are self-employed and your accounting date is not 31 March or 5 April, we will be able to advise you.

 

MTD for Income Tax for partnerships and limited companies will follow at a later date, and we will keep you informed of any news that affects you.

Corporation tax

Corporation tax reliefs and rates change annually, so we ensure that we can provide all the right guidance and advice when looking at exemptions, allowances and deductions that may be available.

We will thoroughly review and prepare corporation tax returns in great detail in order to ensure you are complaint and that you don’t incur any penalties.

Self assessment

Our tax services make sure that your tax liability is calculated taking into account all allowed exemptions and deductions. We simplify the process by using accountancy software to accurately complete tax returns and calculate any tax liability that may occur, along with any payments that need to be made.

Capital gains tax

You may be looking at investments, a second property or another asset and our team can make sure you maximise your exemptions while simplifying the difficult area of capital gains tax.
