DIGITAL
IS COMING!
WELCOME TO LANDLORDS GO DIGITAL
HMRC want us all to move to the digital age! The annual Self Assessment return covering rental and other Sole Trader income will soon be discontinued. Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) is the future.
It's estimated that tax of £8.5 billion was lost in 2018-19 due to 'avoidable mistakes' resulting from the use of spreadsheets and failing to accurately transpose figures to Self Assessment Tax Returns.
All Landlords (and Sole Traders) with an annual income over £10,000 will have to file details of income and expenditure online quarterly from
6th April 2024, with the first of these submissions falling due in August 2024.
In addition to the quarterly returns, there will be an end of period statement to confirm the returns for the tax year.
It's not too early to start preparing for this huge change, switch now to digital record keeping and be ready for April 2024!
