See Exactly What You'll Learn
Watch this short video to see how the course guides you through every stage of Making Tax Digital using Excel and TaxCalc, from registration through to submitting your quarterly updates to HMRC.
A practical guide to doing MTD yourself
This course is a step-by-step guide, not accounting software.
I'll show you how to work through the MTD process yourself, from registering with HMRC and recording your income and expenses through to preparing and submitting your quarterly updates.
You'll also have access to Excel templates, downloadable guides and practical walkthroughs to help you follow the process and manage your records throughout the year.
The course is a one-off payment with lifetime access. There are no ongoing subscription costs for the course itself.
You'll still need compatible software to submit your MTD updates to HMRC. I'll show you how to use TaxCalc's bridging software, including how to import your completed spreadsheet and prepare your submission. The cost of the bridging software is separate and significantly lower than using a full accounting software package such as QuickBooks or Xero.
Learn the process once, then use the knowledge and templates year after year to manage your MTD filings yourself.
