Course Details

Making Tax Digital is now only days away, and represents a significant shakeup of how taxpayers and agents interact with HMRC and each other.  In this practically focused course we take a look at some key considerations for when MTD goes live, including helpful tips and the latest updates to help you navigate your practice and your clients through the change.  We also take a detailed look at the new penalty regime being introduced alongside MTD and what HMRC’s limited soft landing might mean for taxpayers.

 

In this session Emma Rawson and David Wright cover the following topics:

  • Latest MTD updates and hot topics
  • Record keeping and reporting easements, and how to make the most of these
  • Practical tips for keeping your clients compliant
  • The new regime for late filing and late payment penalties
  • What happens next?
