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>
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is working to support small businesses that need help to transition to MTD and engage digitally.<\/p>"}

Since the referendum, the Government has allocated more than £4.3 billion to help departments and the devolved administrations prepare for EU Exit. This includes £2 billion announced prior to the Christmas recess for core EU Exit preparations in 2019-20, for both deal and no deal scenarios.<\/p>
<\/p>
It is for departments and the Scottish Government to decide how to allocate this funding to Scottish public bodies operating in reserved and devolved areas respectively. The Scottish Government has been allocated almost £100m of additional EU Exit funding, comprising £54.7m for 2019-20, £37.3m in 2018-19 and £6.6m in 2017-18.<\/p>"}
