What is Making Tax Digital?

Making Tax Digital is HMRC’s move towards digital record keeping and more regular tax reporting. Instead of leaving everything until the end of the year, affected businesses and landlords will need to keep digital records and send updates through compatible software.

Digital records keep everything cleaner.

MTD means your business records need to be kept digitally. That makes it easier to track what’s coming in, what’s going out, and what tax may be due.
