The decision announced in July 2017 to exempt businesses below the VAT registration threshold responded to feed back about the impact of MTD on the smallest businesses. There are currently no plans to increase the threshold for MTD for VAT.</p><p> </p><p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is working to support small businesses that need help to transition to MTD and engage digitally.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 28/02/2019 11:32:23 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

The report does not comment on the off-payroll working rules themselves.</p><p> </p><p>The off-payroll working rules ensure that individuals who work through their own personal service company, and would have been an employee had they provided their services directly, pay broadly the same tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs) as other employees. The rules do not affect the genuinely self-employed.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 11/01/2019 14:26:53 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>Preparations for the introduction of Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT in April 2019 are progressing well. MTD will make it easier for businesses to get their tax right, reducing the tax gap caused by avoidable errors and saving businesses time which can be devoted to maximising business opportunities, and helping foster good financial planning.</p><p> </p><p>In October, HMRC opened the pilot to over 500,000 customers who will be required to join the service from April, and they are on track to open up the service to the remainder of mandated customers early in the New Year.</p><p> </p><p>There has also been excellent progress with the software that businesses will use to keep their records and send HMRC their VAT information. A variety of products at different price points are available (including some that are free), and some can be used with a spreadsheet for those who prefer not to make the move to a fuller software product.</p><p> </p><p>Businesses will need to join the new service in time to send HMRC their VAT return information before their first deadline for a return period which starts after 1 April. For the majority who file quarterly that will be by 7 August 2019 at the earliest. HMRC is continuing to send letters to all businesses in scope, raising their awareness and inviting them to join early so that they can test the service before mandation.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 18/12/2018 14:45:14 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
