Find out when you need to be ready for Making Tax Digital

Are you ready for Making Tax Digital? The government initiative came into effect on 1 April 2019, but when is your first MTD submission due?

Find out your first submission date in just 3 simple steps.

Caveats:

- Businesses who are VAT-registered and have a taxable turnover above the VAT threshold of £85,000 are mandated, however businesses below this can submit under Making Tax Digital voluntarily.

- A small number of businesses are exempt or fall in to a deferred group until October 2019. Check here if this applies to your business.


NOTE: if you are under the VAT threshold keep an eye on turnover as MTD is mandatory if you go above.
