Making Tax Digital

Making Tax Digital (“MTD”) is the most fundamental change to the administration of the UK tax system since the introduction of self-assessment. As implementation of the project is rolled out and the legislation is developed and enacted, the Institute will support its members. These pages will be updated with news, developments and resources to help you get ready for this fundamental change. MTD commences with VAT from April 2019. The project is expected to be rolled out to other taxes, starting with income tax.

MTD for VAT – relaxation for certain businesses on closure of online VAT portal

Last week we reminded readers of HMRC’s plans to progress Making Tax Digital (“MTD”) for VAT by closing the online VAT portal for filing returns from 1 November 2022. HMRC has since contacted us to advise of a limited relaxation for businesses with turnover under £85,000. If such businesses have not signed up to MTD for VAT in time to file their next return by 7‌‌‌‌‌ ‌‌‌November 2022, they will still be able to use their existing VAT online account for that return only. Businesses that file annual VAT returns will still be able to use their VAT online account until 15‌‌‌‌‌‌ ‌‌May 2023.  Chartered Accountants Ireland, in discussions with HMRC about closure of the portal, expressed concern that businesses not signed up to MTD for VAT in time, would be unable to file their VAT return and pay any VAT due. This relaxation by HMRC for certain businesses is a helpful time limited compromise. Such businesses must sign up to MTD for VAT in order to file any returns due after‌‌‌ ‌‌1‌‌‌ ‌‌December 2022 if they file monthly or quarterly VAT returns, or they could face a penalty. Businesses with turnover over £85,000, who have been mandated to use MTD for VAT since 2019, and who are still not signed up will not be able to use the online VAT portal from 1 November 2022 and cannot avail of this relaxation. If a business is already exempt from filing VAT returns online or if they or their business are subject to an insolvency procedure, they are automatically exempt from MTD. Check if they can apply for an exemption sets out guidance on the exemption process. HMRC will consider each application on a case-by-case basis Last week, HMRC began to send emails to agents to let them know about the relaxation for returns due by certain businesses by 7 November 2022. HMRC will also be contacting these businesses directly by email on Wednesday 19 October.

An update on the MTD for income tax trial is also provided. MTD for VAT As planned, the online VAT portal for submitting VAT returns is due to close from 1 November 2022 to ensure those required to sign up to MTD for VAT do so.

An email will also be sent to appointed agents from the beginning of November setting out information on what happens next and how to support clients from 1 November. Last week HMRC issued a Press Release highlighting the closure of the online VAT portal from 1 November and the requirement to sign up to MTD for VAT. MTD for income tax MTD for income tax is due to commence from 1 April 2024. At present, the pilot remains at Stage 1 (handholding and entry route via software developers only) while some technical issues are reviewed.
