What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?

Making Tax Digital is a UK government initiative introduced by HMRC to modernise the tax system. It requires businesses and landlords to maintain digital financial records and submit updates to HMRC using compatible software instead of traditional annual tax returns. This shift is designed to reduce errors, improve accuracy, and give business owners a clearer, real-time view of their financial position. While the change may seem significant, with the right support, it becomes a simple and efficient way to manage your finances.
