Northern Society is offering delegates a 1/3rd off all of its live webinars up to 30 August 2021.
Rebecca Benneyworth has been an advocate of MTD since the consultation period in 2016 and remains keen to ensure that as many smaller firms and businesses as possible take advantage of these changes.
This session is an essential update for anyone working practice in accounts or tax as Rebecca will give delegates a clear idea of what processes they will need to adopt to serve clients in a completely new reporting environment. It would also be suitable for those working in business, although there is little detail as yet on plans for corporation tax.
This session will look at the July 2020 announcements from HMRC in regard to the process not only of the MTD project, but to what might develop with personal and business tax accounts over the next few years. It will cover the current requirements for VAT as a refresher, picking the tricky areas, and then move to the meat of developments to come through to 2023 when we shall see full mandation for income tax.
