IT'S COMING...
MTD for ITSA (Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment) was first announced back in 2015 and has since then been postponed several times (MTD for VAT became mandatory in April 2019.
It is now scheduled to go live in April 2026 after a further delay was announced.
All accounting and tax records will need to be processed digitally, using accounting software or at the very minimum kept on spreadsheet, and four quarterly returns will need to be submitted electronically to HMRC, the fourth being the end of year final figures that will decide your final tax liabilities for the year.
You can find a lot of information about MTD ITSA and your responsibilities on the internet.
Here at M Watson Accountancy Services Ltd we have already invested in new scanning equipment and powerful data recognition software, and we already have this up and running for VAT preparation.
In due course we will be making the necessary preparations with advice from our software providers, and organising clients as necessary to fully prepare them for the major changes coming to Income Tax.

Why Choose Us?
We are aimed primarily at the smaller business, new or existing, whether you are a Sole Trader, Partnership, Limited Company or simply an individual that needs to file a tax return.
Many existing small companies and businesses are switching to us, and we are consistently hearing the same reasons for changing; increasing fees; frustration at their accountant never being available; telephone calls not returned, never being able to speak with the same person twice........The list goes on!
We take a friendly, no-frills approach. We come to you for a consultation or meeting in the comfort of your own home, your office, or at a suitable location of your choice, for example the local coffee shop. We’ll even buy the coffee! Additionally, we offer evening & weekend appointments, which leaves you free to concentrate on what you do best - running your business.
If you are currently with another Accountant, we will carry out all the necessary transition for you at no extra cost.
How are our fees so competitive?
We do not have the same overheads of a typical Accountancy Practice, such as rent, high staff costs etc as we operate from a home office. We can therefore afford to charge much smaller fees whilst still providing the same level of service. Our fees are always calculated fairly, and are not based on the size of your balance sheet!
Our comparison table below demonstrates the savings we have passed on to our clients, without any loss of professionalism or quality.

Workplace Pensions
Workplace pensions law changed and under the Pensions Act 2008, broadly speaking, all UK employers have to put certain staff into a pension scheme and contribute to it under the process called Auto-Enrolment. It doesn't matter what type of business you operate, if you employ even just one employee you now have certain legal duties.
If you are a payroll client, we will assist you with your obligations as part of our payroll package. For more information, visit The Pensions Regulator Website.
