Making Tax Digital (MTD) has changed how UK businesses keep tax records and submit returns. VAT-registered businesses must already use MTD-compatible software and digital links for their VAT returns.
What we cover
MTD for VAT: software selection or validation (including Xero), digital links from records to submission, quarterly filing and error correction procedures.
- Income Tax MTD preparation: assessing whether you fall within scope, quarterly update requirements, end-of-period statements and final declaration processes as HMRC rolls out mandation.
How we work
We audit your current record-keeping, identify gaps against MTD rules and implement a practical workflow that fits how you already work.
- Migration projects are phased: setup, parallel running if needed, cutover and first live submission with us checking the result.
Income Tax MTD for sole traders and landlords
Income Tax MTD will require digital records and periodic updates for qualifying sole traders and landlords. If you are near the income threshold or have multiple property lettings around Mid-Ulster, early preparation avoids a rushed migration.
- We map which income streams fall in scope, how quarterly updates differ from the final declaration, and what bridging arrangements HMRC permits during transition.
Software and training
Choosing software is only the start. Staff need simple routines for capturing receipts and coding transactions consistently. We deliver short, practical training tailored to your team, not generic webinars.
- Ongoing support includes testing submissions before mandation dates and updating processes when HMRC refines guidance.
