HMRC MTD Update Brings Helpful News.

HMRC MTD Update brings helpful news

  1. Supplier statements can now be used to record expenses for input tax purposes. This is a great timesaver for business using the cash accounting scheme and spreadsheets to digitally record their expenses. Until this update, every purchase with a given supplier had to be individually recorded depite the fact that one payment might have been made to cover 40 or 50 different invoices. Now a one line entry can record the payment total.
  2. Petty cash expenses. The other good news is that petty cash expenses can now be posted as a single total. However, this is on the basis that no individual receipt exceeds £50 and the total of the receipts does not exceed £500.

Two very welcome and sensible updates from HMRC.
