MTD Business Filer

TaxCalc Business Filer will be the bridge between your clients’ digital records and HMRC. MTD for Income Tax Self-Assessment (ITSA) will require unincorporated businesses with trading and property income to keep digital records and submit summary income and expense information, on at least a quarterly basis, to HMRC.

This will create additional touch points with HMRC and an added administrative burden for you and your clients.

Those familiar with VAT Filer, our MTD for VAT bridging solution, will recognise the simplicity with which those submissions can be made.
