Course Details

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 course Chris Bagguley and Lenny Barry 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
