Have you been contacted by HMRC about Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT?

HMRC has started to re-target businesses they believe should be MTD compliant based on taxable turnover. If your business has received a letter like this recently, there is action you need to take, even if you are not required to sign up to MTD.
