About
Join us for the third episode of our Monthly MTD Accountability Club webinars on Monday, 18 August at 2pm, where we hear from three more 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 Robyn Milstead, director of tax at LKA Associates, Vanessa Fuller, director at Premier Tax Solutions and Sarah Gardener, partner and head of outsourcing at Shaw Gibbs. They’ll be joined by Chris Downing from Sage and your host Richard Hattersley 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 pricing and how to plan the delivery of your MTD services in your practice. You’ll get to ask the group questions on their progress.

Here’s what we’ll cover on Monday, 18th August at 2pm:

- An overview of what our group of accountants have done so far to prepare
- Practical techniques you can use to get ready for MTD
- The decisions that firms have made so far
- How to set your pricing to make the most of MTD
