Quarterly updates aren't
filing from here yet
MTD for income tax will land every practice with four submissions a year per client instead of one. The records side is built and the deadlines are already tracked. Submitting the quarterly update is not live, and we are not going to give you a date we can't hold.
Getting ready
The work that has to happen before the first quarter anyway.
Digital records
Income and expenses kept per client in a proper ledger, which is the actual requirement MTD imposes. See ClearBooks.
Records arriving through the quarter
Clients photograph receipts as they go and answer document requests through a link, so a quarterly cycle doesn't mean four Januaries a year.
Who is in scope, and when
Clients carry their MTD position on the record, so the list of who is mandated from which April is a filter rather than a research project.
Deadlines on the board
Quarterly dates sit on the same compliance board as accounts, corporation tax and self assessment.
What isn't here
Said plainly.
Sending the quarterly update
Quarterly updates and the final declaration cannot be submitted from ClearCash today.
No date promised
Access to HMRC's live service is HMRC's decision, on their timetable rather than ours. We would rather tell you that than put a quarter on a slide. Filing is live today for self assessment and corporation tax.
How many clients does this hit?
