answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2019 answer text <p>I updated the House on progress in implementing Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT on 19 February 2019: <a href="https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2019-02-19/debates/802C22E7-88AF-4B3D-A5A6-E98E60F54E50/MakingTaxDigital" target="_blank">https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2019-02-19/debates/802C22E7-88AF-4B3D-A5A6-E98E60F54E50/MakingTaxDigital</a></p><p> </p><p>Most sole traders who are registered for VAT are below the threshold and are therefore already exempt from MTD, though they can choose to join the new service. 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
