It’s time to conquer Making Tax Digital

HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative is one of the biggest changes to the UK tax system in recent memory. FreeAgent will be ready to support you and your clients ahead of the next stages of the initiative.

Please note that many of the resources on this page were produced before the government announced changes to the mandation dates and thresholds for MTD for ITSA. We are working to update any content affected.
