In a nutshell

First on the agenda is the scrapping of accounting periods as the basis for working out taxable profits. The Report analyses what’s required by law and explains the pros and cons of the changes. The new edition has been fully updated and covers the latest information on all aspects of MTD.

In detail

Transition to the new basis period system started in April 2023 and will be fully implemented for the tax year starting in April 2024. If you’re in business as a sole trader or partnership the change is the most significant since the introduction of self-assessment in 1995. The mandatory start date for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD ITSA) has been deferred until April 2026 although HMRC is encouraging sole traders and landlords to start MTD ITSA sooner so they are ready to go when the change comes.
