What is TaxCalc MTD Quarterly Filer?
TaxCalc MTD Quarterly Filer is a HMRC-recognised spreadsheet bridging solution that allows users to submit quarterly updates to HMRC under the Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax rules.
How do register for MTD with HMRC?
Signing up for MTD for Income Tax is via HMRC’s website. Once registered, you will be able to authorise TaxCalc to connect digitally to your HMRC account.
Can I submit updates for more than one business or property type?
Yes. TaxCalc supports multiple sources of income, including multiple businesses or property portfolios including UK and overseas property. It allows you to file updates for each separately.
Does the bookkeeping spreadsheet get submitted to HMRC?
No. Only the summary totals extracted form the spreadsheet. No transactional data is sent to HMRC.
Does TaxCalc calculate the tax position after each quarterly update?
The software returns the HMRC generated tax calculation based on the data entered and this may change with each subsequent update. The final tax position will be calculated by TaxCalc within Tax Return Production prior to submission to HMRC.
Are the quarterly updates cumulative?
Yes. Each quarter should include all figures from the start of the tax year to the end of the update period.
Can I make a calendar quarter election in the software?
Yes, but you must do so before filing your first quarterly update. HMRC will not accept any change to the basis once the first update has been submitted.
Can I amend a submitted quarterly update?
Yes, although HMRC's expectation is that minor discrepancies will be corrected in the next update or final tax submission.
Do I need to submit an annual tax return as well?
Yes. Whilst quarterly updates are mandatory under MTD, you will still be required to submit a final tax return at year-end.
