Course Details

With April 2026 fast approaching, this session marks the moment to turn preparation into action. Sam guides you through the essential steps required to ensure clients, systems, and workflows are fully ready for MTD for Income Tax. Sam unpacks what the penalty point soft landing from April 2026 really means in practice, why it offers breathing room, but not immunity, and how poor habits in year one will only store up risk for later. Sam also discusses other changes on the horizon in April 2027, when payrolling Benefits in Kind and Companies House reform arrive, creating a second wave of compliance pressure.
