What is Making Tax Digital?
How does this affect you? If you are not already required to have MTD compliant records, you will be in the future. The sooner you start to create and store your tax records digitally, the easier it will be to start submitting those records to HMRC in a digital format. We have already moved many of our clients to one of our recommended MTD compliant cloud-based software packages:
For more information on the wider benefits of cloud-based accounting, visit Harold Sharp Digital Advisory.
If you are one of the few businesses not already managing your finances in a digital format, now is the time to act.
Alternatively, we can also offer a bridging solution. This enables us to pull data from your existing software into a format that is deemed acceptable by HMRC. The VAT return is then submitted directly from the bridging software.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax
- maintain their accounting records digitally in a software product or spreadsheet (see above re MTD compliant software / bridging solution). Maintaining paper records will no longer meet the requirements of the tax legislation; and
- submit information quarterly to HMRC and finalise their tax position after the end of the tax year. The quarterly updates and end of year reports will need to made using a functional compatible software product that can access HMRC’s API (Application Program Interfaces) platform.
Self-employed businesses or landlords currently have the option to voluntarily opt-in to keeping digital records and submitting Income Tax updates to HMRC, instead of filing a Self-Assessment tax return, ahead of the requirement which will come into force in April 2023.
