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!

In my 20s I set up a community arts charity and over the next decade raised almost a £1million for projects across London and beyond. By 2010 however the charity became unsustainable, not least thanks to the 2008 crash. It was time for a new direction.
I retrained as an accountant and in 2011 set up in practice, keen to bring my experience of running an enterprise to small business owners.
We are now a team of 6 and working with small business owners to create the business they want is still at the heart of the practice, through our Improving the Numbers programme. I have therefore worked with literally hundreds of business owners from a wide variety of sectors on their journey to create a business that gives them what they want. It is a great privilege as I know from my own development as business owner the difference that mentoring and accountability makes to a business owner.
The work of supporting a business owners spills into every aspect of business, so although my core skills are in finance and accounting, I have a good grounding in all business functions. Although every business is a new challenge, there are some core skills, mindsets and processes that apply to all businesses.
Outside of work, I try to corral my children and find time to be creative.
