Making Tax Digital: Is Your Business Ready?

The UK tax system continues to evolve, and Making Tax Digital (MTD) is one of the biggest changes affecting businesses and individuals in recent years.

Designed to modernise the tax system, MTD requires many businesses and taxpayers to maintain digital financial records and submit information to HMRC using compatible software. While the changes aim to simplify tax reporting, they also place greater responsibility on businesses to ensure their systems and processes are fully compliant.

At Johnston Kennedy DFK, our Chartered Tax Advisors are already helping businesses across Northern Ireland prepare for Making Tax Digital by providing practical advice, software guidance and ongoing compliance support.

Who does Making Tax Digital affect?

Making Tax Digital is being introduced in phases and will affect many:

• Sole traders
• Landlords
• Partnerships (future phases)
• Limited companies
• Growing owner-managed businesses

If you currently keep manual records or rely on outdated accounting systems, now is the ideal time to review your processes.
