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.

Making Tax Digital for VAT extension from 1 April 2022 - soft landing is needed says Chartered Accountants Ireland

In a letter last week to the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, the Institute sets out the case for introducing a soft landing when Making Tax Digital (“MTD”) for VAT is extended later this week from 1 April 2022 to all VAT registered businesses including the smallest businesses in the UK. The letter also sets out the Institute’s position on basis period reform and tax complexity. At a recent MTD Advisory Forum meeting, the Institute was advised that a soft landing will not be available to businesses mandated to use MTD for VAT from April 2022. This was on the basis that “over 30 percent of these businesses are already voluntarily using MTD for VAT and have not faced difficulties in meeting their VAT obligations”. In addition, HMRC explained that “relatively few businesses with taxable turnover below £85,000 are likely to be using multiple software products to keep their business records and that the minority that do use multiple products will have received sufficient notice of the new rules”. However, this does not take into consideration the many small businesses who are currently not using software of any type for whom the requirement to use software and keep digital VAT records is a significant step change. Many businesses are also unaware of the forthcoming changes as they are unrepresented and, to date, there has not been a public education campaign on this forthcoming change.

Making Tax Digital update, 7 March 2022

Readers are reminded that Making Tax Digital for VAT is mandatory from 1 April 2022 for VAT registered businesses with turnover below the £85,000 VAT registration threshold. Note that at present HMRC has no plans to introduce a soft landing for the digital links aspect of MTD for VAT for these businesses. The Institute is discussing this with HMRC. HMRC has also recently updated the list of software currently available for MTD for income tax self-assessment (“ITSA”) which commences in April 2024. This page was updated on Friday, 25 February 2022 to show details of the MTD for ITSA compatible software products that are available. The changes include updating the list of software products that are ‘available now’, which are those that have been actively tested with live taxpayers and met HMRC’s minimum functional specification. The page will also list 15 new products, not previously shown on the page, that are in the late stages of development. These ‘in development’ software products are ready and will shortly start to be tested with live taxpayers. Once that final taxpayer testing has been performed, they will then be moved to the ‘available now’ section. HMRC continues to work closely with software developers to support them in developing a range of software products to satisfy demand within MTD for ITSA. Regular updates will be made to this page as new products become available.   HMRC is also working on delivery of a new dynamic software tool which is due later in the year. This will provide a more interactive experience for taxpayers to view possible software options and find the one that is most suitable for them.
