Making Tax Digital (MTD) – preparing to join the pilot
Join Rebecca Benneyworth for this latest Making Tax Digital update
With the first phase of MTD still two years away, many firms have started to concentrate on other areas, but only those businesses joining the pilot in April 2024 will have experience of a ‘whole cycle’ of MTD ITSA including filing for 4 quarters and the final crystallisation in January 2026 before the first tranche of businesses are mandated into the new system.
Course Information
This course will set out the current requirements for joining the pilot in April 2024, and the revised timetable, and review changes to MTD introduced during 2022 and 2023 as a result of the restructuring of the programme. It is an important update for those firms that wish to put a few clients into the pilot to test their preparedness for the biggest change to affect income tax since self assessment was introduced in 1997.
The course will include:
- The current legislation and proposed amendments
- The phasing of mandation – what to expect
- How to determine which clients are affected and when
- The outcome of the Small Business Review – what next for the under £30,000’s?
- Keeping digital records – what is expected? Landlords and joint ownership of property
- The pilot – should we join in 2024 and what types of restrictions are there?

Autumn Tax update with Bob Trunchion
Northern Society of Chartered Accountants www.norsca.co.uk
Join Bob Trunchion for his regular half yearly Tax updates.
This course has been specifically designed to meet the needs of general practitioners, concentrating on matters that really affect your clients – achieving these aims for 30 years. Attending every six months not only gives you targeted CPD but alerts you to what you need to know. It is presented by an experienced speaker who has been training for the Northern Society of Chartered Accountants for all that time and understands the local environment.
Event Information
This course has proved to be the essential update for all practitioners and staff involved with clients affected by tax issues, as well as tax specialists for 30 years! The course aims to keep your technical knowledge up to date to comply with the ever-changing regulatory environment. The course is intended not only to alert you to such technical changes, but to highlight practical points which can be used in practice.
By the time of the Course, changes to supply chains and other matters due to Brexit will be settling down and, hopefully, the Covid-19 Pandemic and other winter bugs should be easing. We will have had a Budget in the Autumn of 2021. Whilst this is heralded as just a “technical” Budget, there is still plenty of scope to change capital taxes in the UK given all the technical proposals that have been made by the OTS!
Clearly, there should be another Budget come the Autumn of 2022.
Whether “major or a minor” Budgets, all the above factors will combine to give a considerable amount of content to cover!
Content
This course aims to provide delegates with a practical and intensive review of developments over the last six months as well as changes likely to occur in the near future.
This course aims to cover the following topics:
- Tax announcements in 2021 Autumn Budgets
- What was in the resultant Finance Act 2021 and will be in Finance Bill 2022?
- Is there anything our clients should be doing now in the light of the increases already announced to CT and NIC
- Where are we on MTD, its delayed introduction and how should we be preparing our firms and our clients
- Where are we on the “level playing field” like the extension of IR35, the NMW/NLW etc?
- Recent Tax cases and HMRC pronouncements
- VAT and indirect tax developments including import and export solutions, ATED revaluations
- Other regulatory announcement affecting the Tax Profession such as on AML, CCOs, PCRT and all the other regulatory matters where we have to keep up to date.
