About
The dust has now settled on the first Making Tax Digital for income tax quarterly submission, but in many ways, the second submission is set to be a different challenge altogether.

Where the first quarterly submission was always going to attract attention because it was the first, the second submission brings the challenge of routine - and reveals whether the new processes and practices incorporated will be a success.

In this episode of the MTD Accountability Club, in association with Sage, practitioners will share their struggles and successes so far in Q2. Has client engagement remained consistent since Q1? How have they managed the clients that were late for the Q1 submission?

Are they bearing the fruit from the airtight workflows they put in place during Q1? Are they starting to see clients sharing their information sooner than in Q1?

AccountingWEB’s Richard Hattersley and Sage’s Chris Downing welcome members from the MTD Accountability Club to share the highs and lows of the past month. You will hear from Andrew Dick, the owner of G W Dick & Co, and Ryan Alderson, head of cloud at DJH, about how they're approaching Q2.

You’ll come away from this lively session with:

- An overview of the MTD workflows that are bearing success
- A plan to ensure future submissions are successful
- Insights from fellow accountants, tax advisers and bookkeepers
- An understanding of the tools firms are using to ease the strain of MTD
- The struggles other firms are facing - and how they’re overcoming them

The MTD Accountability Club will also bring the usual qualitative insights from the practitioners we’re following in their MTD journey.

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.
