Navigating Making Tax Digital (MTD) with Redwoods Accountants

The transition to a fully digital tax system is one of the most significant changes to UK tax administration in decades. At Redwoods Accountants, we simplify this transition, ensuring your business remains compliant while leveraging digital tools to improve your financial clarity.

What is Making Tax Digital?

Making Tax Digital is a government initiative designed to make tax administration more efficient and easier for taxpayers. It moves the UK toward a seamless, digital tax system by requiring businesses and individuals to:

Maintain digital records of all transactions.
Use MTD-compatible software to submit tax returns.
Provide digital updates to HMRC more frequently than once a year.

Our MTD Services

Whether you are a VAT-registered business or an individual landlord preparing for MTD for Income Tax (ITSA), we provide end-to-end support.

1. Software Integration & Migration

The right tools make all the difference. We assist in selecting and setting up MTD-compliant cloud accounting software—such as Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent.

Data Migration: We safely move your historical data from spreadsheets or legacy systems.
Bank Feeds: We automate your bank reconciliations to ensure real-time accuracy.

2. MTD for VAT

If your taxable turnover is above the VAT threshold, digital filing is already mandatory. We manage:

Digital record-keeping compliance.
Quarterly VAT submissions via functional electronic links.
Ongoing monitoring of threshold limits.

3. MTD for Income Tax (ITSA)

With upcoming changes affecting self-employed individuals and landlords, we help you prepare early by:

Setting up digital systems for quarterly summary updates.
Ensuring your end-of-period statements are accurate.
Providing a clear roadmap for the 2026/2027 deadlines.
