Making Tax Digital: The tax revolution you need to know about

Podcast

 we talk Making Tax Digital, the UK tax system change that will eventually impact on every business in the UK.

In conversation with Enterprise Nation founder Emma Jones, Damon Anderson from Xero and Jonathan Bareham from accountancy firm 

 discuss the government initiative which aims to see the end of the tax return and transform the tax system by 2020.

Businesses, starting with those above the VAT Threshold, are required to submit tax information digitally in an effort to make systems and businesses more efficient and deal with the £9.4bn tax revenues lost each year due to errors.

An estimated 1.2m small businesses will be impacted by the initial rollout of Making Tax Digital (MTD) changes next April. Around 500,000 of them are currently using spreadsheets, paper or nothing to manage their tax!

If you're one of them or even if you're not tune in and start planning early!

I am a qualified Chartered Accountant with over a decade of experience working in general accountancy practice. After a successful career with two small practices, I have decided to start up my own practice to be able to provide a value added service I feel is often missed in a traditional accountancy practice.
From the start of my training I have always enjoyed making the books balance and following on from training I have enjoyed interpreting those books for my clients. I enjoy working with small and medium sized businesses as it allows me to be involved with the whole finance function in a business and able to assist the owners in their financial decision making. I am fluent in the preparation and submission of accounts and tax returns and I have also helped several companies to set up and maintain their bookkeeping systems. In addition to these tasks expected of a general accountancy practice I enjoy going above and beyond and acting as a finance business partner for your business including the preparation and interpretation of management accounts and cashflow statements.
Outside of work I am a mum to one child and one dog, I love the outdoors and my hobbies include reading and sewing.
