Frequently asked questions
What is Making Tax Digital and why do I need an accountant for it?
Making Tax Digital is an HMRC initiative requiring businesses to maintain digital records and submit quarterly updates. An accountant specialising in MTD can help you select compatible software, set up digital processes, and ensure accurate submissions, reducing the risk of penalties and saving you time.
How do I know if an accountant is qualified and regulated?
Look for accreditations from recognised bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These qualifications indicate the accountant has undergone rigorous training and adheres to professional standards. You can verify their status through the respective institute's online register.
Can an accountant help with both VAT and Corporation Tax returns?
Yes, most qualified accountants offer comprehensive services including VAT returns, Corporation Tax, and Self Assessment. They ensure all submissions are accurate and comply with HMRC deadlines, helping you manage your tax liabilities effectively throughout the year.
What should I look for when choosing an accountant in Beckenham Kent?
Consider their experience with Making Tax Digital, professional accreditations, and familiarity with local business conditions. Reading client reviews and checking their specialisms, such as work with sole traders or limited companies, can help you find a good fit.
How often will I need to submit digital updates under MTD?
Under Making Tax Digital for VAT, most businesses submit quarterly updates to HMRC. For income tax, the timeline is similar. Your accountant can set up the digital system and manage these submissions on your behalf, ensuring you stay compliant without extra stress.
What happens if I miss a Making Tax Digital deadline?
Missing a deadline can result in penalties from HMRC, which increase with repeated non-compliance. A qualified accountant helps you avoid this by keeping track of all submission dates and ensuring your digital records are always up to date and accurate.
