Making Tax Digital is almost here: Are you ready?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is coming into effect on 1 April 2019 which is less than a week away. Are you ready for the change in legislation? If not, Clear Vision Financial Management are on hand to help.
Compliance is essential to avoid unnecessary penalties
A survey in January 2019 found that only 57% of UK businesses who must comply with MTD are ready for the new legislation to come into effect. At the same time, the HMRC has stated that after a 12 month ‘soft-landing’ period, non-compliers will face penalties and fees. However, during the ‘soft-landing’ period, only those being seen attempting to comply will not face charges. A points-based system has been confirmed to come into effect in 2020. Points will be issued for either late report submission or late payments.
When points have exceeded a threshold, a penalty will be charged for all subsequent missed deadlines. Once HMRC can see that rules are being adhered to, points will in time expire.
