Course Details

Course is only available as part of "The MTD Bootcamp".

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax goes live from April 2026. MTD will have a significant impact on many practices and their clients in the way self-assessment is reported. The earlier you sign clients up, the better prepared you’ll be. We’ll take you through the benefits of signing clients up early and joining our testing phase ahead of mandation.

 

In this webinar Chris Bagguley and Lenny Barry will cover the following topics:

 

  • Myth-I can’t choose who to sign up
  • Myth-if I sign clients up to Testing, I have to submit full records of my client’s income and expenses and this will be time intensive
  • Myth-If I join testing and have any queries, the customer support team will be hard to reach
  • Myth-HMRC just want to boost the software industry by making taxpayers and agents use recommended software
  • Myth-If I, my client or I miss an update, my client will receive a financial penalty

 

 

By attending this session, agents will be better prepared for MTD for Income Tax by understanding the requirements, identifying clients who will be affected and know the benefits of signing some clients up to the testing programme to gain invaluable insight and experience.

 

 

The session will be of most interest to anyone who deals with self-employed and landlord customers with an income of £20,000 and above, whether they be a bookkeeper or main agent.
