HMRC tax boss Jonathan Athow joins presenters Ben and Richard to talk all things Making Tax Digital ahead of next year’s April deadline.
Jonathan, who is Director General for Customer Strategy and Tax Design at HMRC, answers key questions on how the new system will work, and what landlords can do now to prepare.
Landlords with an eligible income above £50,000 will need to join MTD in April 2026, those with over £30,000 in April 2027, with incomes over £20,000 mandated in April 2028.
Now, with just six months to go until the first date, it’s vital you make sure you know what your obligations will be.
Our presenters Ben and Richard ask all the key questions on everything from arrangements affecting properties that are jointly owned to compatible software options
Hannah Kenyon talks about the calls coming in to the Landlord Support Team this month, and, with Awaab's Law to be extended into the private rented sector under the Renters’ Rights Bill, we look at the issue of damp and mould in rented homes and how to tackle it.
The team is joined by Larry Russen, chartered building surveyor at Russen & Turner and Christopher Thomas, director at mould control firm, and NRLA partner, ArcAirTech to talk about the causes of mould and how to effectively treat it.
