About the course
Making Tax Digital (MTD) continues to reshape how businesses and individuals engage with the UK tax system. While the direction of travel is widely supported, the scale and pace of change continue to raise questions. Since April 2022, nearly all VAT-registered businesses have been required to maintain digital records and submit returns using compatible software. Further changes, including MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA), are being phased in.
This course helps you stay up to date with the latest MTD developments, including revised timelines and upcoming requirements. You'll explore the practical steps needed to comply - such as software choices, digital links, and staff training - alongside a review of the costs, benefits, and transition stages for different types of taxpayers.
Whether you're preparing clients or your own organisation, this course will equip you with the insight to implement MTD effectively and adapt to the evolving digital tax landscape.
