HMRC are changing the way we report and pay for our taxes, whether this be VAT, income tax for self employed and property owners, or corporation tax.
The idea is that we all record and report information to HMRC digitally and on a quarterly basis. Eventually, payment of taxes will also move to a quarterly basis, although not in the short term.
MTD for those businesses which are VAT registered are already reporting VAT digitally each quarter. This came into full force from April 2022. For all other businesses and SME companies, this is being phased in over the coming years.
