In light of the coronavirus lockdown and economic uncertainty, HMRC have announced that the second phase of Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT has been postponed for a full year until 1 April 2021.
Originally due to come into force on 1 April 2020, the aim of the second phase of MTD for VAT is to mark the end of the scheme’s ‘soft landing’ first phase, ensure businesses have a full end-to-end digital process in place and enforce penalties for non-compliance.
UK businesses now have until their first VAT return period starting on (or after) 1 April 2021 to implement their digital processes and links.
