Digital Tax Accounts

Digital Tax Accounts

In the March 2015 Budget, the Chancellor George Osbourne introduced plans to replace the annual self-assessment tax return with "digital tax accounts".

A digital tax account will be a very secure online account with HMRC, which will give a tax-payer an up to date picture of where they stand with their tax position.

When a tax-payer logs into their tax account, they will see a calculation of how their tax is calculated by HM Revenue & Customs. The account will be automatically updated with information from the tax-payers employers, the Department for Work and Pensions, pension provider and bank. 

From 2016 small businesses and individuals will be able to submit accounts throughout the year online. Tax-payers will also be able to pay their tax at any point throughout the year.

Small businesses will be able to link their digital tax account with their accounting software.
