Digital Accounting Software
Why Your Business Needs Digital Software Now
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is Here
The way businesses and landlords in the UK manage their taxes is changing, and Making Tax Digital (MTD) is leading that charge. MTD isn’t just a future idea; it’s already a reality for VAT-registered businesses, and its expansion to Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) is firmly underway.
- MTD for VAT: Is already mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses.
- MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA):
- From April 2026: Affects sole traders and landlords with qualifying annual gross income over £50,000.
- From April 2027: Extends to those with qualifying annual gross income over £30,000.
- From April 2028: Planned to include those with qualifying annual gross income over £20,000.
What does this mean for you? If you fall into these categories, or expect to soon, you’ll be required by HMRC to keep digital records and submit your tax information using MTD-compatible software. Traditional methods like spreadsheets (without bridging software) or paper records simply won’t meet these new rules.
This is the single biggest reason why now is the time to embrace digital accounting software. It’s essential for compliance, helps you avoid potential penalties, and frankly, makes managing your tax obligations much simpler in the long run. Pier View Accounting is here to help businesses in Clevedon, Bristol, and North Somerset understand these MTD requirements and get set up with the right digital tools.

While Making Tax Digital (MTD) is a key reason to go digital, the advantages don’t stop there. For your Clevedon, Bristol, or North Somerset business, the right digital and cloud accounting software brings day-to-day benefits that genuinely simplify how you manage your money and save you time:
