What is MTD?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC’s vision to digitalise the UK’s tax system. The first stage of MTD focuses on VAT. All businesses with a turnover above the VAT registration threshold are required to keep digital records and submit VAT returns electronically through MTD compliant software.
