Welcome to my weekly blog about this week’s Talking Points meetings, which cover three different subjects.
Due to overwhelming response we are running two more meetings on - Making Tax Digital for Business (MTDfB):
This meeting is for agents who are helping their clients prepare for MTDfB. From 1 April 2019 businesses with taxable turnover above the VAT registration threshold must keep and preserve digital records and provide VAT returns using compatible software. This session describes what you need to do to help your clients prepare for the change and explains how to get involved in the pilot. It will cover digital record keeping, subscribing to the new MTDfB service and submission of VAT returns.
