Webinar: MTD Accountability Club – 10 August 2026 by AccountingWEB

About

Our MTD Accountability Club, in association with Sage, is a regular series of practical webinars where we cover the key topics around preparing your clients and practice for Making Tax Digital for income tax.

How was it for you? Hot on the heels of the first ever Making Tax Digital (MTD) for income tax quarterly update deadline on 7 August, MTD Accountability Club returns for a debrief on Monday, 10 August at 2pm.

This episode tracks the highs and lows of the past month. Accountants deep in the MTD trenches join AccountingWEB's Richard Hattersley and Sage's Chris Downing to share their horror stories and compare notes on what they'll do differently next time.

The session also reveals the latest findings from the MTD Accountability Club survey, giving you real insights into how accountants and bookkeepers are coping under the new regime.

You'll come away from this lively session with:

- An overview of the practice management challenges ahead
- A sense of how others in the profession tackled the first submission
- A plan to make the next submission smoother
- Support from the accounting community
- Key insights into how MTD is affecting accountants

The MTD Accountability Club is brought to you in association with Sage. If you'd like to join the club and share your progress, please get in touch.
