Oh dear - All unincorporated businesses over £10k?
Madness
This F*ck up of a policy is about to get even worse.
Good job I'm quitting next year......
Oh here we go, finally they want to roll out mtd for all businesses over 10k. Never going to happen.
I'm sure they will want it to but in practise, not a chance in hell.
Do they honestly think someone turning over just over 10k is going to want to report quarterly their income and expenses?
Do they think these yearly clients are prepared to pay their accountant more to do 5 submissions a year instead of one?
Anyone who thinks this won't have a cost impact is living in la la land.
As I've said many times before, it will be a logistical nightmare for me, chasing now yearly clients every quarter for information, as well as making time every 3 months for every client to prepare a submission. It's not going to happen.
I always understood mtd for vat, and if even go as far as to say Ltd companies are fine also. Because its not really that much extra work compared to now. But it will not work for the yearly client who turns over such small amounts.
I prey that it will be as simple as reporting income and exp, and they don't expect a full book keeping service matching up to bank statements before submission otherwise I can see a lot of people suddenly falling below 10k to save the hassle.
Oh gawd - can I put everything in place to sell up before April 23? - my retirement maybe forced upon me a few years earlier than I'd planned
We all know it's a silly idea but HMRC have it in their heads that all "John the Plumber" has to do is snap a receipt and the software will do the rest.
After shelling out a couple of hundred billion on Covid-19 support MTD will happen so they never have to do that again, and they can target support rather than a blanket approach.
And just look at 30 day reporting for CGT, for a tax that's raises 5% of taxes.
As Income Tax raises 25% MTD is gonna happen.
Will not help most tax payers and will just cause them to waste more time.
I got a MTD for VAT exemption in the end (I was pleased and surprised) so hopefully I might get one for this.
