With the recent launch of HMRC’s Making Tax Digital open beta, we’re sure you’ve got lots of burning questions. We’re here to help, starting with finding out if your current software will be MTD-ready. If it’s not, don’t worry - we have solutions for you.
| |||||||||
What is UK MTD (Making Tax Digital)?
Making Tax Digital for VAT requires VAT registered businesses with taxable turnover above the VAT registration threshold to keep records in digital form and file their VAT Returns using software. It is increasingly common for business records and accounts to be kept digitally, in a software program on a computer or tablet, or in a smartphone application, or maintained through such a device and stored using a cloud-based application. The difference under Making Tax Digital is that the software which businesses use must be capable of keeping and maintaining the records specified in the regulations, preparing their VAT Returns using the information maintained in those digital records and communicating with HMRC digitally via our Application Programming Interface (API) platform.
| |||||||||
Find out when the Making Tax Digital rules start
The Making Tax Digital rules apply from your first VAT period starting on or after 1 April 2019. A ‘VAT period’ is the inclusive dates covered by your VAT Return.
| |||||||||
Can I still use spreadsheets?
You do not need to keep any additional business records because of MTD. However, business records must be kept digitally to be compliant. If you use spreadsheets, the spreadsheets must be able to submit the required data to HMRC digitally. The spreadsheets must preserve any digital records so you will need to ensure that the data is not accidentally over-typed or deleted – Software will make this much easier.
