Now has never been a better time to think about switching your accounting records (if you haven’t already done so) into the cloud.
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is just around the corner…. this change in legislation will require vat registered businesses with a taxable turnover above the current vat registration turnover threshold (£85k) to maintain digital accounting records and to submit their vat returns via MTD approved compliant software. These changes will affect vat return periods commencing on or after 1 April 2019.
