HMRC update on filing returns for Non-Making Tax Digital VAT registered clients

In April 2021, HMRC began transitioning over traders who are not yet signed up to Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT, to a single database (homing both non-MTD and MTD VAT registered businesses). This process is in readiness for when those traders do sign-up between now and the mandatory date of 1 April 2022.

The time has come to make sure that your business is prepared and ready for the next phase.

Festive Furlough – the importance of consulting the Job Retention Scheme guidance
