Due to the demand of an ever-evolving digital world, HMRC will soon be implementing digital quarterly tax returns. As part of MTD, businesses registered for VAT with a taxable turnover above the VAT registration threshold of £85,000 will need to keep VAT records digitally and file their VAT returns using MTD compatible software. This will start from their first VAT period starting on or after 1st April 2019.
HMRC’s new initiative will revolutionise the UK tax system and ultimately bring an end to self-assessment. Henry Bramall has partnered with Sage to offer you a cloud bookkeeping system that will seamlessly integrate with new regulations, and, coupled with Henry Bramalls expertise, will provide peace of mind for you as the new regulations come into effect.

The next phase of MTD
On 21 July 2020, HMRC confirmed that MTD would be extended as follows:
- MTD for VAT will apply to all VAT registered businesses, regardless of turnover, from April 2022 (currently it only applies to businesses with taxable turnover above the VAT threshold of £85,000).
- Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) will be introduced from April 2023, for unincorporated businesses and landlords. The government will consult later this year in relation to corporation tax.
