Mike Galsworthy 🦣Anyone else doing their tax returns right now?
I'm bricking myself that I might have missed £27 million somewhere.
Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@mikegalsworthy Behind with my VAT ... can't face trying to suss out MTD. Why the fuck can't I just type in five numbers like I used to? What the fuck is all the extra hassle, expense and work supposed to give me?
Andy ToddI use the free bridging thingamy from My Tax Digital by Open Answers.
Still use the same programme to track all income & expenses, still use reports based on ones I put together ~25 years ago (with amends for rule changes) but now I type the 5 numbers into a form provided by My Tax Digital and click submit there instead. Completely and utterly pointless
@toddisadj Hi, I've had a look at their web site and (some of) the videos, and I don't see the option of typing the numbers into a web form - I see stuff about making a CSV file and importing that, which is obviously more work and more error prone. What am I missing please?
(Plus, of course, if I'm going to allow some third party web site access to my tax accounts, rather than using some downloaded software that keeps my credentials on my machine, then there's the tiresome due diligence I have to go through to decide whether or not I trust them.)
This is a screen shot from My Tax Digital, arguably not compliant but gets the job done without having to change software or drastically alter processes.
Theres a process to link the third party web site to your account on HMRC rather than the website having your HMRC credentials. It needs renewing every 18 months, I understand you have to do renew the association which ever approach you take.
@toddisadj Ta. Might give that a try, depending on HMRC's next answer in our correspondence.
