What is Making Tax Digital?

Making Tax Digital requires businesses to keep digital records, use Making Tax Digital-compatible software and submit quarterly updates to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

The main aims of Making Tax Digital are to:

• maximise tax revenue
• make the tax system more effective and efficient
• improve customer service

HMRC introduced the first phase of Making Tax Digital in 2019, which covered VAT. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (ITSA)  is next on the cards, followed by Corporation Tax.
