Making Tax Digital

Get set for digital returns


HMRC has set out its intention to become one of the most digitally advanced tax administrations in the world through the Making Tax Digital for VAT (MTDfV) initiative.

MTDfV introduces fundamental changes to the way the tax system works – transforming tax administration so that it is:

  • More effective
  • More efficient
  • Easier for taxpayers to get their tax right

MTDfV update in response to COVID-19 – April 2020

HMRC has announced a deferment of the MTDfV deadline in response to COVID-19’s impact on business activity. As a result, all businesses now have until their first VAT return period starting on or after 1 April 2021 to implement digital links. The deadlines for implementation of digital records and digital submission are unaffected.
