About
Join us for the second episode of our Monthly MTD Accountability Club webinars on Monday, 21 July at 2pm, where we hear from three accountants about the challenges and opportunities they’ve found while getting ready for the first round of mandation of Making Tax Digital for income tax in April 2026.

This month we’ll be hearing from Michelle Morris, Director of Ellacott Morris, Lee Coombes, Owner of Lee Coombes Digital, and Amie Wilson, Director at Harold Sharp. They’ll be joined by Chris Downing from Sage and your host Jake Smith from AccountingWEB.

The practitioners will share what they’ve done so far and what their plans are for the month ahead, with a focus on client communication. You’ll get to ask the group questions on their progress.

The live webinar will also share the monthly MTD state of the nation results, where we reveal the readiness of the wider accounting population.

Here’s what we’ll cover this month:

- An overview of what our group of accountants have done so for to prepare
- Practical techniques you can use to get ready
- The struggles firms have faced so far
- How and when should you communicate to clients

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