Making Tax Digital (MTD)

We know that keeping up with changing tax legislation can feel like a maze. But don’t worry DXE Accountants are here to break it down and make it simple for you!

What is Making Tax Digital?

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is a new initiative aimed at transforming the tax system into a more modern, efficient, and user-friendly process. It requires businesses and individuals to keep digital records and file tax returns using approved software, making tax administration easier for everyone. DXE Accountants are here to help with this transition.

How will Making Tax Digital work?

Instead of keeping paper-based records or using spreadsheets, MTD requires businesses to store their financial data digitally. This means transactions are automatically recorded, updated, and categorised in real-time through accounting software.

Once you’ve got your digital records, MTD allows you to file your tax returns online, directly from your software to HMRC. This eliminates the need to fill out manual tax forms and reduces the chance of errors.

MTD requires more frequent reporting to HMRC. Instead of annual tax returns, you will need to submit information quarterly, ensuring that your tax obligations are more up-to-date and you can avoid any unexpected surprises at the end of the year.
