Frequently asked questions
What is Making Tax Digital and why do I need an accountant for it?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is an HMRC initiative requiring businesses to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates. An accountant ensures your software is correctly configured, your data is accurate, and your submissions meet HMRC deadlines, reducing the risk of penalties and saving you time on compliance.
How do I find a qualified MTD accountant in Sandwich. Kent?
You can use AccountingFirms to search for accountants in Sandwich. Kent who specialise in MTD. Filter by accreditations such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, and review their profiles to confirm they offer digital accounting services. The directory allows you to compare fees and client feedback before making a choice.
What qualifications should I look for in a Making Tax Digital accountant?
Look for accreditations from recognised bodies like ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These qualifications ensure the accountant has undergone rigorous training and adheres to ethical standards. A qualified professional will have up-to-date knowledge of MTD rules, VAT regulations, and digital software requirements.
Can a Making Tax Digital accountant help with my VAT returns?
Yes, MTD accountants are specifically trained to handle VAT returns under the digital reporting system. They will set up compatible software, ensure your records are accurate, and submit your quarterly VAT data to HMRC. This reduces errors and helps you stay compliant with mandatory digital filing.
How often will I need to submit information to my MTD accountant?
Under MTD, you must submit quarterly updates to HMRC via your accountant. You will need to provide your digital records every three months, typically covering sales, purchases, and VAT data. Your accountant will then compile and submit the returns, and you will also file an annual final declaration.
What happens if I do not comply with Making Tax Digital requirements?
Non-compliance with MTD can result in penalties from HMRC, including fines for late submissions or inaccurate records. An accountant helps you avoid these issues by ensuring your digital records are maintained correctly and your quarterly returns are filed on time, keeping your business in good standing with HMRC.
