Making Tax Digital Launches April 2019

Finally here is a reminder that from April 2019, HMRC’s much trumpeted Making Tax Digital (MTD) scheme will apply to certain businesses.

The April 2019 launch will only apply to VAT registered traders. More specifically, Making Tax Digital will apply to businesses who have a turnover above the VAT threshold – the smallest businesses will not be required to use the system, although they can choose to do so voluntarily if they so wish to.

From April 2019, businesses above the VAT threshold will be mandated to keep their records digitally and provide quarterly updates to HMRC for their VAT.
