✅ We’re MTD Ready – Are You?

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is changing the way businesses and individuals report their taxes, and the time to prepare is now.

So, what is MTD and who does it apply to?
MTD is a UK government initiative designed to make tax reporting more efficient and accurate by requiring digital record‑keeping and submissions to HMRC.

- MTD for VAT already applies to all VAT‑registered businesses.
- MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) will apply to sole traders and landlords with:
- Income over £50,000 from April 2026
- Income over £30,000 from April 2027

If this applies to you, you’ll need to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC using MTD‑compatible software.

Why choose MJR Bookkeeping?
At MJR Bookkeeping, we’re fully MTD ready and here to make the transition as smooth and stress‑free as possible. We genuinely enjoy what we do, and that shows in:
- Clear, jargon‑free guidance
- Accurate, compliant digital records
- Ongoing support tailored to *your* business
- A proactive approach that keeps you ahead of deadlines

MTD doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right bookkeeping partner, it can actually give you better insight into your finances and more confidence in your numbers.

📩 Thinking about switching bookkeepers or preparing for MTD?
Get in touch with MJR Bookkeeping — we’d love to help.

Here are the main points from Rishi Sunak's "Mini-Budget" announced just now...

- The first cut to the basic rate of income tax in 16 years - from 20% to 19% - by the end of Parliament in 2024.

- Fuel duty will be cut by 5p a litre from 6pm tonight until March 2023. This is worth £2-£3 per tank full.

- The National Insurance threshold will be raised by £3,000, meaning people must earn £12,570 per year before paying income tax or NI. It’s a tax cut worth over £330 a year extra in your pocket. For lower earners this will mean you may be better off after the planned NI increase.

- VAT will be scrapped on home energy-saving measures such as insulation, solar panels and heat pumps.

- The Household Support Fund for local councils to help the most vulnerable will be doubled to £1bn from April.

- Retail hospitality and leisure sectors will have a 50% discount in business rates up to £110,000.

We are fast approaching the end of the 2020/2021 tax year. Contact us now to get your self assessment completed earlier rather than later.
