Making Tax Digital: preparing accountants for MTD

Next year sees the rollout of the extension to Making Tax Digital for self-employed people, which means accountants need to start preparing their clients, explains Lee Murphy, managing director at The Accountancy Partnership

The Making Tax Digital (MTD) pilot scheme was launched for self-employed people in March 2018, with plans to roll it out further. Although the MTD timeline was delayed by the pandemic, from 1 April 2022, it will be something that all VAT registered businesses and their accountants need to get to grips with for their next VAT period.
