Tax update: Deferral announced for MTD and basis periods reform
Wednesday 29 September 2021
On 23 September 2021, the Government announced that Making Tax Digital (MTD) for income tax will be postponed, along with the proposed reform to income tax basis periods. These deferrals come as welcome announcements after much lobbying and representations from professional bodies and other stakeholders that they were being introduced too quickly and without sufficient time for taxpayers to adequately prepare.
