If HMRC are so determined to push ahead with MTD, they should produce free basic software which does the job properly. Having seen a few MTD vat implementations; Sage (annual cost, arm and a leg please) to modest middleware, (clunky and more work than logging into HMRC the old way), there is a large cost overhead for smaller companies. At the moment MTD is a tax on businesses in order to tax them. MTD is currently the TicketMaster and Ryan Air of tax systems, being charged a fee in order to make a payment.

For people who went the "Low salary, high div ratio" route, it's difficult to feel too much sympathy. They made a choice that resulted in them being quids in at the time, now the situation has changed, and it turns out that avoiding tax and NI has consequences.

If MTD is poorly implemented, that means a potential loss of VAT revenue to HMRC, the consequences of which would be felt very quickly! All that in the same year as Brexit. Genius!

"not wise to alert employees to the fact they can opt-down ahead of the April 2019 increase". Hmm, I wonder how some employees will feel that their employer has failed to inform them of information which has a material impact on their take home pay? Could they seek legal redress or compensation?

If online platforms, specifically Ebay and Amazon, are the platforms enabling these operations to trade illegally, perhaps the time has come to recover the losses from the sales platform rather than near impossible to trace overseas traders.
