Making Tax Digital represents HMRC's ambitious plan to bring tax reporting into the digital age. Consequently, we're facing significant changes that will affect thousands of self-employed individuals and landlords across the UK. Moreover, these changes are no longer a distant possibility but a concrete reality with confirmed implementation dates. The MTD Timeline: When Changes Take EffectOriginally, MTD was scheduled for April 2024. However, the government revised the timetable in December 2022. Subsequently, we now have a phased rollout approach that gives businesses more time to prepare.Specifically, the implementation follows this timeline: April 6, 2026: Businesses earning over £50,000 annually from self-employment or property letting must comply April 6, 2027: The threshold drops to £30,000-£50,000 April 6, 2028: Finally, those earning £20,000-£30,000 must join the schemeHow MTD Changes Your Tax ReportingPreviously, most self-employed individuals filed one annual tax return. Conversely, MTD requires quarterly updates throughout the year. Accordingly, you'll submit information four times annually, followed by a final year-end declaration.Additionally, paper records become obsolete under these new rules. Instead, you must use MTD-compatible software to record all income and expenses digitally. Eventually, traditional self-assessment returns will disappear entirely, replaced by this quarterly system. Should You Incorporate to Avoid MTD?Currently, limited companies don't fall under MTD requirements for corporation tax. Therefore, some business owners consider incorporating to delay compliance. However, we strongly advise against making decisions purely for tax reasons.Historically, incorporation provided significant tax savings. Nevertheless, these benefits have diminished over recent years. Generally, the tipping point for incorporation sits around £25,000 annual profit. Below this threshold, the tax advantages often prove marginal.Furthermore, becoming a limited company brings additional responsibilities: Companies House registration and annual filings Payroll system operation Both personal and corporate tax obligations Higher accounting fees Stricter penalty regimesAdministrative Impact and CostsUndoubtedly, MTD increases administrative burdens for self-employed individuals. Quarterly reporting means more frequent deadlines and ongoing software costs. However, embracing digital accounting tools can streamline this process significantly.Alternatively, limited companies face different administrative challenges. Specifically, they must manage payroll obligations, national insurance contributions, and potentially VAT compliance. Additionally, the rules around mixed personal and business expenses change when you incorporate. Making the Right Decision for Your BusinessObviously, there's no one-size-fits-all solution to this challenge. Rather, your decision should align with your business goals and circumstances. Particularly important is considering your long-term strategy, not just immediate tax implications.Certainly, professional advice proves invaluable when navigating these choices. Whether you choose to remain self-employed or...

Specialist dental accountant David Hossain breaks down exactly what dental professionals need to know right now.The increasing cost pressures on dental businesses deserve close attention. With employer National Insurance contributions rising by 1.2% and the National Living Wage jumping to £12.21 hourly, practice owners face immediate decisions about pricing structures and operational expenses. Meanwhile, those considering practice sales should take note of the Business Asset Disposal Relief tax rate climbing from 10% to 14% on the first £1 million of proceeds - a change triggering a flurry of transactions before the April deadline.Beyond these immediate concerns, dental professionals should prepare for expanding HMRC enforcement activity. Random practice inspections are becoming more common after years of relative quiet, while late payment penalties increase to 10%. Making Tax Digital also moves forward despite delays, eventually requiring quarterly accounting submissions. With economic growth forecasts halved to just 1% and government welfare cuts expected to push 250,000 people into poverty, the broader economic environment presents additional challenges for dental businesses.Want to turn listening into learning?

In this short but sweet episode, recorded live on day two of the Festival of Accounting & Bookkeeping (FAB), the team take a look back at the key moments from day one and get ready for the discussions ahead.

In this episode of The Bookkeepers' Podcast, Zoe Whitman is joined by Max Whiteley from Dext to discuss Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for IT). With the rollout set for April 2026, many bookkeepers and accountants are still unsure about what it means for them and their clients. Max breaks down the key changes, what bookkeepers need to be doing now to prepare, and how technology like Dext Solo can make the process more efficient. The conversation also delves into pricing strategies for MTD, how to help clients transition smoothly, and why this is a huge opportunity for bookkeepers to position themselves as experts in the field. You Will Learn: ✅ What MTD for IT means and who it applies to. ✅ Key dates and deadlines to be aware of. ✅ Why bookkeepers should start preparing now. ✅ How to introduce Dext Solo to clients. ✅ Why pricing correctly is essential to avoid undercharging. ✅ How MTD can help bookkeepers provide more value to clients. ✅ Strategies to position yourself as an MTD expert and win new business. Key Takeaways: MTD for IT is happening – The first mandated group (sole traders and landlords earning £50k+) must comply from April 2026. Quarterly submissions will replace annual tax returns – This means 5 filings per year instead of 1. Bookkeepers need to act now – The best time to start transitioning clients is before the 2025/26 tax year. Dext Solo is a cost-effective solution – At just £2.50 per client per month, it provides an easy way for clients to submit records in real time. Don't undercharge for MTD – With more filings and client interactions, pricing must reflect the increased workload. MTD is a huge opportunity – Bookkeepers who educate clients and offer proactive support will stand out and win more business. Work With Us
For many business owners, dealing with HMRC and tax compliance is one of the most stressful parts of running a business. The fear of making mistakes, the pressure of deadlines, and the complexity of the system can feel overwhelming. In this episode, we're joined by Paul Aplin OBE, a trailblazer in tax and business strategy. With decades of experience and a leading role in the Making Tax Digital initiative, Paul shares practical advice for reducing tax-related stress and avoiding common pitfalls. We cover:
Two significant changes will take place from April 2026: Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD IT) and mandatory payrolling of benefits in kind. While April 2026 is over a year away, these changes will require a lot of planning including how workflows and information flows will need to change. MTD IT will require many individuals to keep digital records and send quarterly updates to HMRC, while mandatory payrolling of benefits in kind will see the end of the form P11D process for many employers. In this episode we look at what taxpayers and their agents can do in the coming months to prepare.LinksGovernment and developers commit to MTD ITSA from 2026https://www.icaew.com/insights/tax-news/2024/nov-2024/government-and-developers-commit-to-mtd-itsa-from-2026MTD: what you should do nowhttps://www.icaew.com/insights/podcast/the-tax-track/mtd-what-you-should-do-now Making Tax Digitalhttps://www.icaew.com/technical/tax/making-tax-digitalPros and cons of payrolling benefitshttps://www.icaew.com/insights/podcast/the-tax-track/pros-and-cons-of-payrolling-benefits How to prepare for mandatory payrolling of benefits in kindhttps://www.icaew.com/technical/tax/tax-faculty/taxline/articles/2024/how-to-prepare-for-mandatory-payrolling-of-benefits-in-kindPayrolling Benefits and Expenses webinarhttps://events.icaew.com/pd/29313/payrolling-benefits-and-expensesPanellistsStephen Relf, Technical Manager, Tax, ICAEWCaroline Miskin, Senior Technical Manager, Digital Taxation, ICAEWAdelle Greenwood, Technical Manager, Employment Taxes and National Insurance Contributions, ICAEWProducer Ed AdamsEpisode first published: 7 January 2025Podcast recorded: 17 December 2024

The average house price in the UK fell for the fourth month in a row in December as prices plummeted by 1.5% compared to November - the average house price is now £281,272, according to Halifax.

December's decline was not as high the 2.4% drop in November. Annually, house prices grew by just 2% compared with December 2021 - down from 4.6% annual increase recorded in November – and the slowest rise since October 2019 when prices were going up by 1.1%. Mortgage approvals unsurprisingly declined to their lowest level in two years as interest rate rises deterred buyers, new Bank of England figures find. Mortgage approval lending slumped to just 46,000 in November, down from under 58,000 in October, the BOE reports. Home-buyers and buy-to-let investors were put off by a massive rise in mortgage interest rates following a succession of base rate hikes designed to curb soaring inflation. Rates have gone up nine times since December 2021 to 3.5%, the highest level in 14 years. The average 5-year fixed rate mortgage rate recently reached just under 6% hitting 100,000 per month with higher payments of up to three times their previously deal. Economists and experts have predicted that already depressed house prices could further fall by up anything from 10% to 20% in 2023. Bank of England figures also reveal that people are borrowing more on credit cards - up by £1.2bn - as cost of living pressures continue to hammer household and business budgets. Despite higher rates, householders increased mortgage borrowing against their homes by an additional £4.4bn in November. UPDATE ON MTD Good news for business. Making Tax Digital and quarterly reporting bureaucracy changes for self-employed will be postponed for two years until 2026, HMRC has announced.

The average house price in the UK fell for the fourth month in a row in December as prices plummeted by 1.5% compared to November - the average house price is now £281,272, according to Halifax. For more great tips and money-making ideas and coaching offers see Master Your Money the S.M.A.R.T Way training. Check it out for free - https://bit.ly/3isugCr. December's decline was not as high the 2.4% drop in November. Annually, house prices grew by just 2% compared with December 2021 - down from 4.6% annual increase recorded in November – and the slowest rise since October 2019 when prices were going up by 1.1%. See YouTube video on Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast - https://youtu.be/BeGsYCvuLL8 Mortgage approvals unsurprisingly declined to their lowest level in two years as interest rate rises deterred buyers, new Bank of England figures find. Mortgage approval lending slumped to just 46,000 in November, down from under 58,000 in October, the BOE reports. Home-buyers and buy-to-let investors were put off by a massive rise in mortgage interest rates following a succession of base rate hikes designed to curb soaring inflation. Rates have gone up nine times since December 2021 to 3.5%, the highest level in 14 years. The average 5-year fixed rate mortgage rate recently reached just under 6% hitting 100,000 per month with higher payments of up to three times their previously deal. Economists and experts have predicted that already depressed house prices could further fall by up anything from 10% to 20% in 2023. Bank of England figures also reveal that people are borrowing more on credit cards - up by £1.2bn - as cost of living pressures continue to hammer household and business budgets. Despite higher rates, householders increased mortgage borrowing against their homes by an additional £4.4bn in November. UPDATE ON MTD Good news for business. Making Tax Digital and quarterly reporting bureaucracy changes for self-employed will be postponed for two years until 2026, HMRC has announced.

Given the blizzard of other priorities faced by the profession in recent years, workflow hasn't always been the most burning topic for accountants in practice. However, a host of factors are combining to push it up practice agendas, including (you guessed it) the UK government's Making Tax Digital drive requiring multiple client checkpoints each year. Other, more subtle, factors include the creeping commoditisation of lower-end compliance work, new rules around anti-money laundering and the increasing digitisation of accountants' client base. But how should practice owners and managers approach the task of re-engineering their practice workflow? And what tools are out there to help? To discuss the Christmas past, present and future of practice workflow, AccountingWEB technology editor Tom Herbert was joined by Aaron Patrick, head of accounting at Boffix, and AccountingWEB editor at large John Stokdyk.

It's Tuesday and that means Rob & Rob are back answering your questions! First up is Ash. She's a huge fan of the podcast and especially looks forward to the Market Updates. So, it's no surprise that she's noticed the economic warnings that a recession is likely in the UK this year. Indeed, just yesterday leading economist Dr Gerard Lyons told the BBC: “A recession is likely in the UK and, I think, a recession is likely across Western Europe.” Which is pretty direct, especially for an economist. So, Ash wants to know, what will a recession mean for property prices? Is now a bad time to buy if there is going to be a downturn? A great question, and one Rob D is especially well placed to answer, having just finished a book on how money actually works. Next up is Pete, who controversially doesn't have a question, but instead has opted to issue a warning! We'll let Pete off this rebellious change to our format because he has an important warning about new tax rules that will affect almost all landlords. Even though it's not strictly a question, Rob & Rob still have some helpful advice on how to prepare for the tax changes so that you're not caught out. Tune in to find out. Do you have a buy-to-let or property investment related question for Rob & Rob? You could feature on the next episode by giving us a call on 013 808 00035 and leaving a message with your name and question (normal UK call rates apply).

In this episode, Rob sits down once again to talk with Sean Billington – The Property Tax Accountant. Sean is a qualified chartered accountant who has 20+ years of experience. He specialises in providing advice to all kinds of landlords. Including, HMO, Buy to Let, serviced accommodation, and more. His is a digital business, Sean splits his time between the UK and the Caribbean while advising people from across the world and running his property portfolio. Today, he and Rob, focus on running an investment property portfolio while travelling or living abroad. The subjects they cover include choosing the right strategy, managing time-zone differences, tax implications, solving funding challenges, and remote landlord technology. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being clear about what you want to get out of property investing will help you to choose the right property investment strategy. Long-term simple tenant agreements are ideal for remote managing. Think about the tax implications of being abroad for long periods. Some of which are discussed in the podcast. If you are abroad long enough you can end up as a non-resident taxpayer meaning lenders will treat you as an Expat, which creates challenges. For remote buyers, comprehensive surveys are invaluable. Have someone trusted on the ground to liaise and carry out certain high trust tasks. Tap into the power of technology. In the podcast, Sean shares some apps and systems he uses. BEST MOMENTS ‘Choose the right strategy for your circumstances.' ‘Lenders will typically see those individuals (non-resident taxpayers) as higher risk.' ‘Go with an agent that does lettings only.' ‘Making Tax Digital is coming down the line in a couple of years.' ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone, the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success. Success can happen in many ways, shapes, and forms.

In this episode of The Bookkeepers' Podcast, Jo Wood & Zoe Whitman were joined by Chris Downing of Sage to discuss the delay of MTD. They discussed: - The background of MTD for ITSA. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax and Self Assessment was due to come into play in April 2023 but has been deferred until April 2024. It affects unincorporated businesses and landlords who will need to report a business updated to HMRC quarterly and keep digital records, generating an estimated tax liability. They will then produce and end of year statement. In April 2025 general partnerships will also be brought into the scheme. - The number of businesses who will be affected: 3.5 million will be affected in April 2024 and another 0.5 million in April 2025. - How MTD will help small businesses to have a better view of business performance - The general sense within the profession of the delay to MTD - How to plan to implement MTD - How MTD for ITSA is an opportunity to press the reset button for every practice.
