What is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital is part of HMRC’s plans to bring UK tax into the digital age. It requires all VAT-registered businesses with a taxable turnover above £85K to keep records in a digital form and file VAT returns using Making Tax Digital-ready software (like QuickBooks). The legislation began on 1 April 2019.
