star this property answer text <p>HMRC published research in 2022 indicating that two thirds of those with income above £10,000 felt capable of changing to Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for ITSA). Those with income over £50,000 are already more likely to be using digital tools than smaller businesses; many will already be using MTD for VAT. <br> <br>HMRC has an established programme of social research, focused on understanding the characteristics and support needs of its customers. This will inform an ongoing communications campaign, raising awareness of MTD for ITSA and supporting HMRC’s customers to prepare.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The costs incurred in the move to digital record keeping and reporting through Making Tax Digital (MTD) will vary from business to business, and are dependent on factors such as business size, complexity, degree of digital capability and the cost and functionality of the software used. There are free software products available for businesses with the simplest affairs.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC’s early estimates published on 21 July anticipated that businesses will incur costs of, on average, £175 to make the transition to MTD, with about £20 a year in additional continuing costs. HMRC have since undertaken significant engagement with representative bodies within both the business and accountancy worlds, as well as software developers, in order to further understand the associated costs of future MTD mandation. These costs represent an investment that will yield dividends in terms of increased productivity and turnover. HMRC are working with these bodies in order to ensure estimates are accurate and will do all they can to minimise costs. A new publication with revised estimates will be published in due course.</p>
