Frequently asked questions
What is Making Tax Digital and why does it affect my business?
Making Tax Digital is an HMRC initiative requiring businesses to maintain digital records and submit VAT returns using compatible software. It applies to most VAT-registered businesses and aims to reduce errors by automating data transfer. Non-compliance can result in penalties, so working with a qualified accountant ensures you meet all digital reporting obligations.
How do I find a qualified Making Tax Digital accountant in Melbourne Derby?
You can use AccountingFirms.co.uk to browse local professionals who hold ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT accreditation. The directory allows you to filter by specialism and read client reviews, helping you select an accountant with proven experience in MTD compliance and digital bookkeeping.
Do I need an accountant if I already use accounting software?
Even with software, an accountant ensures your digital records meet HMRC standards, including correct digital links and accurate VAT calculations. They can also advise on Corporation Tax and Self Assessment, helping you avoid common errors that trigger HMRC inquiries.
What qualifications should I look for in an MTD accountant?
Look for ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT certification, as these bodies require ongoing training in digital tax regulations. A qualified accountant will have practical experience with HMRC-compliant software and can manage your VAT, Corporation Tax, and Self Assessment filings efficiently.
Can a Making Tax Digital accountant help with my Self Assessment tax return?
Yes, many MTD specialists also handle Self Assessment for sole traders and partnerships. They can organise your income and expense records digitally, submit returns to HMRC on your behalf, and ensure you claim all allowable deductions while remaining fully compliant.
How often will I need to submit digital VAT returns under MTD?
Under Making Tax Digital, most VAT-registered businesses must submit quarterly digital returns to HMRC rather than the previous annual or biannual schedule. Your accountant can set up the software to automate these submissions and monitor deadlines to prevent late filing penalties.
