Making Tax Digital (MTD) is already benefiting UK businesses, simplifying tax administration through software.

Digital record keeping, using accounting software or apps, will make end of year activity a simpler process than it currently is. However, as with any change, the transition to digital may be more of a step for some. For MTD for VAT, operating since April 2019, independent research shows that most businesses felt the process of transitioning was easy.<\/p>

<\/p>

For MTD for Income Tax, quarterly summaries of business income and expenditure automatically produced from businesses\u2019 digital records will spread the checking and assurance of accounts through the year, reducing pressure at year-end.<\/p>
