Money Box Live: Making Tax Digital Guide
The man in charge at HMRC joins us to answer your questions on the new tax system for sole traders and landlords.
Making Tax Digital for income tax is HMRC's biggest shake-up of self assessment for decades, but are you ready?
The new system will involve filing quarterly updates as well as a final return via third party software. This year it'll affect 860,000 sole traders and landlords with a turnover of 拢50,000. In the coming years the threshold will fall, bringing a total of nearly three million people into the new system.
Felicity Hannah is joined by Jonathan Athow, HMRC's director general for strategy and policy, to take listeners' questions about how it all works and what they need to do to prepare. We also hear from Emma Rawson, from the Association of Tax Technicians, a professional body for tax advisers.
