What is Making Tax Digital?
HMRC is transforming the tax administration so that it is more effective, more efficient and easier for taxpayers.
The first stage of HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) programme focuses on VAT, also known as Making Tax Digital for VAT (MTDfVAT).
From April 2019, HMRC is imposing new requirements on many VAT registered businesses who will need to
- Maintain their accounting records digitally in a software product or spreadsheet.
- Submit their VAT returns to HMRC using a MTD for VAT compatible software.
HMRC have published a VAT Notice about MTD which businesses may find useful.
When is Making Tax Digital happening?
From April 2019, software that prepares a VAT return to send to HMRC must be MTD-compatible. This means that it can integrate with HMRC systems to send VAT returns to HMRC, via the application programmers interface (API) .
From April 2020, data must be exchanged digitally between all software used by a business for VAT. The information contained within the MTD VAT return will be generated by pulling information from the digital records. This information will be the 9 boxes required for the VAT return.
For further information, visit the HMRC site.
What are the benefits of Making Tax Digital?
The move to digital integration will eliminate many of the existing paper-based processes, allowing businesses to devote more time and attention to maximising business opportunities, encouraging growth and fostering good financial planning.
By making it easier to get things right, digital record keeping will reduce the risk of unwelcome and costly HMRC compliance interventions and help businesses to manage their cash flow more effectively.
