Digital Tax for Business - how digital tax changes the way we do business
From April 1st, all VAT-registered businesses must keep all of their VAT records online with quarterly VAT returns through Making Tax Digital (MTD) Compatible Software. This is the first in a range of similar changes that are expected to continue into 2020. These changes have been introduced in order to reduce admin and streamline otherwise complex tax systems.
This change, and the ones to follow, strongly imply changes to the way we know business today.
Digital transformation and innovation have been ongoing trends throughout most industries and communities so moving to “online-only” isn’t a new concept but until now, managing business VAT and tax online hasn’t been essential. This change, and those following will no doubt instigate similar changes in related industries. With this in mind, there has never been a better time to learn to become digitally-savvy and confident with digital products in the process.
