MTD takes it toll on accountants’ stress levels

Richard Sergeant explores the strain additional compliance like Making Tax Digital has had on accountants’ mental health.

The impact of MTD has pushed some practitioners to sale up and exit the profession. These pragmatic elements overlay a more hidden aspect of the profession around illness – both physical and mental, which is also having an impact.

The recent news that a third of accountants feel stressed everyday and Philip Fisher’s advice that ‘accountants should take a deep breath’ has brought some of these issues back into the spotlight. However, recent interviews and conversations have underlined how MTD has further exacerbated these issues.

At the recent Thomson Reuters Synergy conference, a conversation with an attendee, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed their anxieties of feeling overburdened with the pressures of relentless compliance and process change and ill health.

“Over the last five years or so I’ve found myself working longer hours, even with an increase in staff and fairly good adoption of cloud bookkeeping with my clients.

“The strain of constantly having to work through additional compliance such as GDPR and MTD has taken their toll on my health. I had something of a breakdown in 2018, and my doctor has pretty much told me to retire, but I’m not in a position to do that yet at 58 years old,” said the accountant.

‘Not the profession they joined when they qualified’

Jeremy Clarke, member services at ICAS, is not surprised of the impact MTD has had so far.

“It’s one additional thing that has added to a stressed part of the profession. The way it works with HMRC at the moment, the processes have not been without problems. What practitioners are experiencing can feel disjointed and stressful – and for people who are already very busy, adding this to the mix is adding to the stress.”

Nicola Draper, from broker Draper Hinks, sees and hears this from very many small practitioners. “MTD is the straw that breaks the camel's back. They say to me that they don’t want to have to do it anymore, and it’s not the profession they joined when they qualified. For them, the problem is clear: too much emphasis on systems and not on relationships.”

Without overstating the fact, Draper reflects that the older generation of accountants have benefited from a stability of their client base, and building up relationships that have lasted a long time.

“The old guard was all about knowing your clients and adding value. They would have gone to clients’ weddings and graduations – and possibly looked after the family successors within the business. It’s becoming less and less like that, and some are finding it hard to adapt.”

Accountants are fast becoming GPs

Clarke draws an interesting comparison with another profession that is more publicly visible as being under pressure. “The accountancy profession is rapidly going the way of GPs, where professionals are holding things together in a system that is harder to work within.

“There is a largely hidden issue with accountants and mental health issues, as they need to be seen as being in control but underneath there is a lot of really stressed people.

"HMRC are now largely reliant on accountants to implement new initiatives and we are just about able to cope. But any further expansion of MTD at the moment and we will see many more who are not able to deal with the pressure.”

More than just MTD

To be clear though, what we are not talking about is MTD being a standalone cause, but a part of the fabric of the profession changing, and other long term issues building up.

“Added to the other pressures around inadequate pensions, succession, workload, ownership and how hard it is to bring the next generation through, those running their practices are already working to a high tension already”, explained Clarke.

Mistrust of clients can hinder

MTD has also revealed a tendency for some accountants to shoulder much more of the responsibility believing their clients unable or disinclined to change.

Draper, in particular, recalls that “It’s not they don’t want to change, but a belief that their clients are incapable of doing something different. The phrases ‘Our clients don’t like that’ or ‘They wouldn’t know what to do and make a mess of it’ we hear too often.

“What they are really saying is that there is a mistrust of their clients ability to change, or cope with something different - when quite often they will be perfectly willing or able if they are shown,” concluded Draper.

The solutions are not always easy to find

For Clarke, one of the ways to help cope with the pressures of MTD and make a decent exit is ironically to embrace it as much as possible.

“Simply, if you’re MTD ready you will get a better price for your firm or fees. Saying that, there is always an improvement to be made within the client base and that will help drive the efficiency of the practice and help improve things.”

However, for some, change has already come at a price. And further change becomes progressively harder. “We are dealing with a number of vendors who are seriously ill and who have had heart attacks, so the amount of preparation they can put into digitising their practice now and getting the best sale price is very limited.”

The compliance challenge will intensify

As MTD eventually grows in scope, Clarke raises the prospect that this will enforce further change.

“You can no longer ignore the problem and hope it goes away. The next problems are already on the horizon as over the next five-to-10 years will see more and more change as the digitalisation of tax continues.”

The ability to cope with more process change, both within the practice and helping clients manage any new digital record keeping and reporting requirements is likely to keep practitioners very busy for the next decade. Those able to cope with the compliance demands, particularly in terms of workflow and data volume are more likely to benefit.

In the meantime, there is still a community within the profession that will find this transition very tough indeed.

I registered my own practice for MTD earlier in the year so I could test MTD before imposing it on my clients. I also set up my Agent Services Account. There was of course problems with linking the ASA account to software. After numerous calls and emails with HMRC it was determined there was something wrong with my ASA account and they gave me instructions as a work around. They of course didn't work. I have emailed HMRC told them it doesn't work and they are now just ignoring me, basically they don't know what to do and I'm pretty much on my own with it.
The funny thing was, and yes there is a funny side. I had to email a pdf of my VAT return so they could file it manually. I have since had a letter stating that my VAT return hasn't been filed.
What a nightmare and what do I tell my clients when I also have to file their VAT returns by email and they get letters stating they haven't been filed.
Unhappy clients, unhappy accountants. Top job HMRC.

I wish we were like GP's, with their guaranteed large monthly salary, guaranteed work and huge pension pots enabling them to retire in their mid 50's. With a couple of days a week locum work they can also retire and be on the same income as before without the stress.

Any Accountants out there in their position. Very few I would wager.

Very interesting article. I made the call to stop audit work 9 months ago. Probably get myself into trouble but the "support" I got from the ICAEW was for them to insist on cold file reviews for the audits still to be completed despite my notification of intentions and an honesty by me about struggling mentally. This then coincided with the illness and subsequent death of my mother in law, which left me actually with an anger at the ICAEW. My very cynical view that this topic gets lip service in Economia but in practice is not considered.

Not a bad article, Richard, but you've left out the most important thing of all. It is HMRC's determination to rid this country of small business so one man bands go on to PAYE where they are easier to control. Basically MT gave the ordinary worker a chance to buy their own home and start their own business. It worked. Then along came GB and started to destroy that legacy. There is no REAL reason why MTD should be mandatory. I have no doubt that with a proper structured plan MTD would be accomplished naturally within 10 to 15 years. So why the need for speed? The idea is to put every small business under so much pressure in a short space of time so that the small business empire will collapse. What you have seen with Brexit will be a tea party to what will happen when HMRC try and put the under £85k threshold business onto MTD.

I'm out because of they way HMRC now operate, the malign, greedy influence of the software companies cirlcling MTD and the accounting industry like vultures around a corpse and because as a rule the governing bodies are just interested in crowing about who's the best, biggest and fleecing members hundreds a year for a few pointless magazines and earache.
If accountants were regulated, had cohesive, powerful governing bodies like the medical and legal profession there wouldn't be such a mess.
Just sitting back now and waiting for it to collapse.

Couldn't agree more. It's been an eye-opener to watch how these software companies operate knowing they have their clients over a barrel. I refuse to give them any money because of what I have seen. Will be using MTD bridging software until I'm forced off it rather than signing up to a monthly subscription which in some cases equates to a third of the client fee.

yes we have all had to adapt, yes things have changed over the last 5 years much more than the previous 10/15 years and that can be stressful, This is not something unique to us though, society as a whole has completely changed and for many become much more stressful.

I still cannot imagine doing anything else where you are pretty much sure of a decent recurring annual fee if you do your job properly. From our point of view MTD was a way to engage even more with clients, and provide them with real time support which they are happy to pay for

My feeling is that MTD is pointless - the information HMRC will get is the same as before and the accuracy will be no better possibly worse judging by what we have seen with clients operating new bookkeeping systems which are too clever by half for simple people. Wrong VAT rates being applied is the most common area followed by duplicated entries and so on.
Add to this the time wasted training bookkeepers on the new systems where they were perfectly accurate on older systems.
So far excel based answers seem to be the most effective but that isn't what HMRC are wanting. Older clients really struggle with the new fancy 'we can do everything including blow your nose' programs.
Usual story I suppose HMRC, HMG and the accounting bodies not living in the real world where older clients would prefer to earn money rather than play with bookkeeping systems that are complex to work.
Yes - before anyone says it - I am one who finds the new generation of programs less easy to work than what went before. They just take longer to process and when the client goofs off it is much slower to correct. So much for progress.

Its currently nothing much more than an ordinary VAT return. But do you really think that HMRC will not slowly increase the amount of info that is required to be submitted via MTD?

I seem to recall statements that it would be the general ledger in full (eventually). Maybe wrong as MTD is so boring I stopped reading. But by nature I am cynical.

Accountancy used to be simple honest work without problems. Look after your clients and get paid. The recent changes in regulation have introduced huge additional burdens on Practice as well as businesses they serve. One needs ask to what benefit to the Client?

To wit, we have clients who have very happily traded for decades on paper systems. They operate simple (but profitable) businesses. They really don't need computers and digital systems. MTD is imposing significant costs on them as well as stress for us setting it up before an arbitrary deadline.

The extra complication imposed by recent regulations have made the job unnecessarily difficult. Selling up begins to look like an attractive option. But I wonder who benefits when small practice is forced to give up and sell?

I have just used MTD for the first time; submitting VAT on MTD. I would say wow! its good, its quick and easy.

The main problem is registration and HMRC as always. The system appear to be not ready. To register a client appears to be going round a roundabout and cant go anywhere. It should be easy but HMRC system is not ready.

Registration takes hours and the stress of not knowing where you are going.

HMRC must ry to use their ystem to find out how difficult it is. I left a numerous negative feed back but they never improve.

HMRC is very very very frustrating to deal with. When I call them, it took hours before they answer and when they answer they dont appear to know or have a solution.

Registration, goes round and round and round. You'll get there in the end. Its okay if you only have one client to register. We have several.

Of course registering for your pracrise too is a problem.

I have never not followed a rule until this. I don't have the time or inclination to register so I am going to continue to file as now and pay my VAT on time as ever and wait until they chose to pull the plug or fine me. I do have problem with change generally in all sorts of areas and always have since I was about age 5 so that makes me not the best guinea pig for MTD.

I filed recently for the first time since MTD for VAT came in but using the old way. I am sure they will start cutting people off soon but hopefully not for a year or so and only once it has become a two second job to register for MTD for VAT.

Am I the only one seeing this as a way to be able for HMRC to cross reference future VAT claims so that they can check that company A has paid the VAT on their sales BEFORE company B claims it on their purchases? The next step will surely be to INSIST that purchase ledger & debtor ledger names are matched to their VAT numbers for this purpose.

Whatever the future changes are this initial change just sets the foundation. It is not a pointless change, as although it is currently the same information, the infrastructure for more information now has a platform to build from. It does mean that spreadsheets will have to go and that information will be tagged (a la xrbl) so that more sense can be made of it by HMRC computers.

As with RTI and PAYE it means greater care is needed along the way as changes will lead to questions.

The only sensible way forward is to embrace so that as step changes come in you are ready for them.

Some of the comments re MTD mirror those when we started with ELS. We have to look for the positives and keep up as at some point the leap will need to be made and the longer it's left the further you will need to jump.

I write this as a sole trader accountant who already had all that need to be on software on it, not for MTD but because I thought it the best way to operate and the best solution for me and the clients.

This kind of thing already happens in other countries. So whilst HMRC aim to be the most digitally engaged tax authority in the world, they are some way behind others (in surprising places such as Brazil and Turkey).

This first phase of MTD, which as others say doesn't change the information submitted to HMRC, is only the start of what I expect will be numerous phases of change requiring greater levels of detail to be submitted at each phase. Some of which is already laid out in the details published for the implementation of MTD 4 CT/IT.

Some years ago I became very stressed with a client investigation. The client was, tbh a bit dodgy and the tax inspector was quite aggressive and unreasonable. Initially (as I always did back then) I saw my role as a sort of buffer between the two (piggy in the middle more like!)

One day I decided to change that dynamic and picture the relationship as more like a triangle, where I advised the client on what needed to be done, but took no personal responsibility when the client produced questionable replies, or when the Tax Inspector was unreasonable.

I feel we need to take that sideways step with MTD/other current madness, and effectively say to clients, "MTD/Brexit/IR35 etc etc are not our fault, they are what they are, and if you want to be in business, you need to do XYZ and we can help you with that".

You may be right. It is a constant struggle.

I probably need a bit more experience as I only have 2,500 clients and 30 staff, ( including 18 of us qualified) and I have been a CA and registered auditor for 30 years as well as being on one of the ICAEW committees. If I can get it up to 3000 clients, I think I will then have ''made it.''

So yes, even now I struggle to understand how a set of accounts are put together ;)

is it
FRS102
FRS 102 S1a
IFRS
UK GAAP
FRS 105

decisions decisions...…

I know why MTD is being introduced, well I mean I can take a good guess...
VAT is the start then there's going to be all the other stuff they are talking about... but

Its going to come down to the tax rules for very large companies being applied unilaterally across the board to self employed and small companies and indeed everyone else doing a tax return.. You know the ones where you pay the CT quarterly and the quarterly payments are made 2 weeks before the end of the quarter...

So they can accelerate the tax payments so we can pay for #brexit ;)

I agree mostly with what you say, however your plumber is not complying with MTD is he if he is not keeping a digital record of receipts and is just relying on you to sort through the paper and input them onto excel - the whole point of MTD is that data is captured and stored electronically.
Thats the difficulty as I see it, we have all clients on software/bank feeds etc but there are some we are really struggling with to get them fully compliant, I am not worried for now but further down the line this will become an issue

So presumably what you are saying is entering the receipts into excel is not capturing and storing them electronically? Really? Why?

...and bridging software to submit this info has been designed and approved for nothing?

Or are you saying that a bank feed must be down loaded and input into a spreadsheet... why?

A sales day book and a purchase day book are adequate accounting records for a micro business. VAT works on VAT invoices ( generally) so you need to check each entry to the invoice to claim the vat. No vat invoice no vat reclaim. So invoice input complies and is the quickest way to do this.

I do believe we should all write to our MPs asking him/her to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons a question with regard to HMRC's inability to handle MTD communications with accountants.

Let's face it , stress is due to the ridiculous amount of compliance and AML work combined with the constant changes in reporting standards.

I have seen those who love all this nonsense. They all have something in common that I do not wish to discuss here.

Being a practitioner does not seem to be a profession anymore. It is just like an agency; 'Statutory Auditor' acting on behalf of the government (as the term implies) and a Tax Accountant acting on behalf of HMRC. No accountant tries to reduce a tax bill anymore; those days are gone for ever.
