Effective from April 2019, HMRC introduced new legislation called 'Making Tax Digital'.  MTD affects all VAT registered businesses with a turnover of more than £85,000 per year in that all accounting and VAT records need to be digital, and VAT returns need to be filed directly with HMRC using a digital accounting or app-based computing package.  Digital VAT returns are just the start of the new legislation and we expect that soon, all tax filings will need to be fully digitized.  The days of manual books, records, ledgers and electronic spreadsheets are over!

Butler & Gee can offer you full assistance in the transition to digital accounting if required. We are an Elite Pro Advisor Partner for QuickBooks Online, which is a cloud-based accounting package, fully compliant and specifically designed for small to medium-sized businesses.  Some of our clients are already using QuickBooks and they find it offers significant advantages, such as keeping accounts up-to-date and always having a clear view of your financial position.

As a QuickBooks Partner we can offer special discounted prices on a monthly subscription to all packages and can also provide a demonstration of how it could work for you, as well as, of course, full training and support. All Butler & Gee accounting staff are trained and certified with QuickBooks and will be happy to help and advise you.
