The rollout of Making Tax Digital (MTD) has accountants asking one question: “How do we absorb five times the work without charging five times the fee?”

Filing quarterly updates plus a final submission means there is much more to do. This is especially true when you think that around 780,000 sole traders and landlords will need to comply with MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for IT) for the first time this year. The vast majority will rely on their accountants.

But a massive fee multiplier is out of the question, despite this jump in volume.

The power of purpose

As accountants, we will have no choice but to cut through the noise and stay focused.

You can do that by connecting all that you do through a clearly defined purpose. Only then can you gain greater control and unlock capacity.

This guide will show you how.

About this blog

This blog is designed to help you absorb the pressures of MTD and many other challenges accountants are facing. It draws on insights from our webinar, Connected by purpose: empowering the modern accounting firm. In it, we discussed the full challenge accounting firms face. We also looked at how the right purpose and systems drive success.

In this blog, we will explore:

• The real pressures facing accounting firms right now, from talent shortages to regulatory change.
• The MTD challenge in numbers, and what a fivefold increase in client touchpoints actually means for your team.
• Why purpose matters, and how it drives better decisions under pressure.
• A technology-powered framework built around three principles: clarity, control and capacity.
• Three practical steps you can take this week to start getting ahead of the curve

We’ll include thoughts from two experts who joined me on the webinar:

• James Jarman, a Partner at PE-backed accounting firm Galloways Accounting
• Fiona Barnett, an Account and Relationship Manager to Top 100 firms at IRIS Software Group

What are the real pressures on accountants right now?

The pressure caused by MTD is being worsened by other developments taking place this year:

• 94% of firms say talent shortages are constraining their growth (Source: Advancetrack Accounting Talent Index ).
• A Hays salary survey found 93% of accounting employers experienced skills shortages.
• Accountancy Age identified at least twenty significant regulatory changes taking effect this year, from ECCTA identity verification to new UK GAAP standards and AML fee hikes.

But despite the pressure, some firms do feel like they’re winning. They are connecting people, processes and technology.

How your fees are diluted under MTD

Even in quieter times, it’s hard to balance admin with fee-earning. The ICAEW Benchmarking Survey found that median chargeable hours per fee earner are just 773 per year against a target of 1,000 to 1,200. Meanwhile, Silverfin found that accountants lose about 1.2 hours every day to low-value admin. This is caused by chasing documents, duplicated data entry, and reconciling information across systems that don’t talk to each other. That means the industry loses about £5.3 billion worth of billable hours a year.

So how does MTD fit into this painful cycle of underutilisation and burnout?

To measure MTD for IT’s impact, consider an accounting practice with 200 qualifying clients. Under annual filing, that’s 200 interactions a year. But under MTD for IT, with four quarterly updates per client and a final submission, that becomes 1,000 interactions.

Unfortunately, the answer isn’t just “hire more people” because, as we saw earlier, Hays says there are major skills shortages.

How accounting firms can drive performance with purpose under MTD

Purpose will decide whether an accounting firm struggles or succeeds under MTD.

Firms that have a clear purpose make better decisions under pressure. They retain people. They say no to clients that are a bad fit, and they say yes to the best. They adopt change faster because the team understands the “why” behind the “what.”

It’s important to think of purpose as structural to your practice. It becomes especially important when a firm is going through change. That could be an acquisition, a technology migration, or when adapting to regulatory or compliance changes, such as MTD.

How to escape from a legacy mindset that holds firms back

Being willing to adapt to changing times is an important sink-or-swim moment. The present reality is your purpose, not what worked before. “We all like our comfort zones, but there’s danger in that,” James Jarman, Partner at Galloways, says. “If you’re unwilling to adapt to changing times, you can really struggle to progress.

“Those who embrace change do really well, whether that’s in their careers, their client engagement, or their technology engagement. Those are the ones that drive the business forward.

“But those that shy away from that really struggle.”

Putting a powerful structure in place – building capacity without headcount

Many firms have more capacity than they realise. James explained that visibility comes from two types of information: the tangible and intangible work people do.

First, consider the tangibles: timesheets, chargeability, and recoverability. “Are staff spending the right amount of time on the job?” James said. “If you’ve got a team that is spending far too long, it’s a retraining matter. But if you’ve got a team that is maxed out while spending the right amount of time, then it’s a resourcing matter.”

Next, what intangibles exist that can help your firm when adapting to new challenges? “There are members of the team that perhaps don’t bill the most or aren’t the most chargeable, but what they bring to the team far supersedes any amount of work they put down on paper. It might be that they’re the one that takes the temperature in the room, the one that looks out for their staff, trains, mentors or guides them through the changes or the one that protects other employees or clients when things are not in a good way. The value of these ones should not be underestimated, especially during periods of change.”

Meanwhile, looking at your own workload as a leader is still important. “Delegate properly – make sure that those in your team are taking up the slack, so that it maximises the amount of time you spend with your clients.”

Investing in important, non-chargeable activity

Activities like training on software features, sponsoring internal champions, and researching best practices are essential investments. “It needs a very conscious decision from the leadership team to allow that to happen and to support it,” Fiona Barnett, Account and Relationship Manager at IRIS Software Group, said. “Because ultimately it is an investment in those people’s time to make sure they really understand what they’re doing.”

How processes can provide better control for accounting firms

When times are tough, it’s easy to blame the wrong things. Slow-to-respond clients and rule changes are common examples. But in practice, it’s poor document management that slows many UK firms down.

For every hour partners spend on client advisory, they spend 1.5 hours on internal admin. Only 14% of partner time goes to strategic planning (source: Silverfin). That’s despite more than half of firms listing growth as their primary objective.

To make things worse, add MTD into the mix. Quarterly compliance multiplies workloads and exposes every process gap. If your client onboarding is inconsistent, you’ll feel it four times a year. If data capture happens at year-end, you’re building quarterly returns on incomplete information.

Documents need to be uniform, and all point towards the process of delivering for your client. For example:

• Do all clients fill in the same paperwork?
• Are your document naming conventions consistent?
• Is there any documentation that is missing?

Then you can focus on the tech and check whether your document management system integrates with your workflows.

If any of those things are broken, everything downstream slows. However, firms that get document management right can capitalise on MTD thanks to greater efficiencies.

Don’t forget to check the purpose of your software

Technology is next on your checklist. It should give you clarity and control while adding a third thing – capacity. If it’s not providing those three things, it’s adding complexity. If that’s the case, consider removing it.

How does software provide the capacity accountants need?

The best software tackles capacity issues head-on through AI and automation. That way, time-wasting tasks disappear from your workload. From auto-populating tax forms and processing high volumes of work to spotting issues, software should handle all the routine work and many of the checks.

That way, you can focus on giving chargeable, valuable advice to clients.

How much time can you save? It depends on your vendor choices. With IRIS, you can be up to 64% faster than leading alternatives.

Don’t forget that services can help you, too

Beyond software, accountants can save time with the help of services. Good outsourcing, for example, offers compliance support that can work with the solutions you have.

Saving time should not mean a race to the bottom

James highlighted a critical risk in how firms respond to being more efficient. If software makes them faster, should they charge less? “What gives me concern is that it will be a race to the bottom in terms of price if I can do what once took me an hour in five minutes.

“I can charge a much lower fee, but really this perspective should be flipped: if I can now do that hour-long job in five minutes, how do I spend the other 55 minutes adding value? How do I enhance the service for our client, ensuring they are benefiting from our expedited advice in the best way?”

James believes the results will follow: “The clients will appreciate that more. They will pay your fees on time. And they’ll really appreciate the advice and the value added to their businesses.”

Getting started today – your action plan with a purpose

If I were sitting in a practice right now, the three things I’d do this week are:

• Have an honest conversation with your leadership team about where your capacity is going. Map it. Measure it. The data will surprise you.
• Pick one broken workflow and fix it, end to end, before you tackle anything else.
• Audit your tech stack. In particular, look at how it connects workflows. The gaps between systems are where your time vanishes.

If you found this guide helpful, our full webinar covers much more ground. It discusses everything above and more, including several topics we couldn’t fit here.

PakarPBN

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.

In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.

The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.

Cette année, Making Tax Digital touchera environ 864 000 personnes (source : HMRC) – celles qui gagnent plus de 50 000 £ de revenu brut en tant qu’entrepreneur individuel, propriétaire ou une combinaison des deux.

Il est juste de supposer que la grande majorité sont des clients comptables.

Lorsqu’ils franchissent ce seuil, la déclaration d’impôt classique sur l’auto-évaluation ne s’applique plus. Au lieu de cela, le HMRC exige un cycle de mises à jour trimestrielles, suivi d’une déclaration finale de fin d’année.

Comme nous le verrons plus tard, ce travail sera payant pour les comptables. Alors, quel sera l’impact de MTD sur votre entreprise ? Et comment des outils comme IRIS Elements peuvent-ils faire la différence ?

Ce que vous découvrirez dans ce blog

Si vous essayez de comprendre ce que coûtera le MTD pour l’auto-évaluation de l’impôt sur le revenu (MTD pour l’informatique) à votre cabinet – et ce que vous pouvez faire à ce sujet – ce guide est fait pour vous. Il couvre :

• La véritable charge de travail par client et par trimestre et la manière dont elle pourrait évoluer au-delà de la durabilité.
• Comment les outils numériques, comme IRIS Elements, ont innové pour automatiser le flux de travail de conformité MTD pour l’informatique.
• L’IA qui permet de gagner du temps est déjà disponible dans IRIS Elements – et ce qui va suivre.

Dans quelle mesure MTD représente-t-il un fardeau croissant pour votre entreprise ?

Avec MTD for IT, il y a beaucoup à faire si vous êtes comptable.

Par exemple, certaines étapes administratives importantes doivent être effectuées avant que vous puissiez déposer une seule mise à jour trimestrielle. Les clients doivent être enregistrés pour MTD auprès du HMRC. Vous devez les autoriser sur votre compte de services d’agent. Pendant ce temps, votre logiciel doit être configuré pour communiquer avec HMRC. Il s’agit d’un processus ponctuel qui autorise le système à récupérer et à soumettre les obligations. Sans cela, aucune donnée ne revient, et si les obligations ne sont pas respectées, vous ne pouvez pas les remplir.

Voilà, en un mot, comment démarrer le processus. Mais il y a bien plus que cela.

Quel est le réel coût du MTD pour votre cabinet comptable ?

Connaître le fonctionnement de MTD et quantifier son impact sur votre entreprise sont deux choses très différentes.

Il est temps de mettre cela en perspective. Pensez à la charge de travail par client et par trimestre. Qu’est-ce que cela implique ?

• À la recherche de données auprès du client.
• Examen des données.
• Catégoriser les données.
• Préparation et soumission de la mise à jour.
• Confirmer au client que tout cela s’est produit.

De manière prudente, cela représente une à deux heures par client et par trimestre, en supposant que les données arrivent sans erreur. Ce n’est pas toujours une hypothèse sûre ; il y aura souvent plus de travail à faire sur les informations lorsqu’elles arriveront.

Ensuite, prenons ce fardeau par client et augmentons-le. Si vous disposez de 50 MTD pour les clients informatiques, cela signifie que vous dépenserez 200 à 400 heures par an juste sur les soumissions trimestrielles. Pour 100 clients, vous envisagez 800 heures.

Tout cela avant qu’une seule déclaration finale ait été lancée. Et surtout la première année, cette déclaration finale ne semblera pas beaucoup plus facile qu’une déclaration de revenus d’auto-évaluation conventionnelle.

Communiquer le coût

Le consensus du secteur est que les frais devront augmenter entre 15 % et 25 % pour refléter l’engagement trimestriel supplémentaire. En réalité, de nombreux cabinets envisagent des augmentations bien plus importantes – de l’ordre de 50 à 75 % – et certains envisagent de doubler complètement les honoraires.

Cela est peut-être justifié, mais il reste encore du travail à faire pour communiquer correctement ces changements. Revérifier:

• Combien de vos clients savent à quoi ressemble votre nouvelle structure tarifaire ?
• Combien ont accepté ?
• Avez-vous mis à jour vos lettres de mission pour refléter ce qui est, en fait, une nouvelle gamme de services ?

N’oubliez pas que ce n’est que le début du déploiement de MTD pour l’informatique.

Les seuils MTD commenceront bientôt à baisser, ce qui signifie que davantage de clients auront besoin de ce niveau d’attention.

• Les clients dont le revenu brut est supérieur à 30 000 £ (selon leur déclaration 2025/26) doivent passer à partir d’avril 2027.
• Les clients dont le revenu brut est supérieur à 20 000 £ (selon leur déclaration 2026/27) doivent passer à partir d’avril 2028.

Où va votre temps avec MTD pour ITSA ?

Dans une enquête récente, 81 % des comptables ont identifié MTD comme le plus grand défi opérationnel. Son effet sera ressenti cette année par les cabinets de toutes tailles, des grands cabinets aux praticiens indépendants.

Sans une approche automatisée ou au moins structurée, ces préoccupations deviendront très réelles, très bientôt. Pour beaucoup, le cœur du problème sera probablement la collecte de données. Voici pourquoi :

• Chaque trimestre commencera par un brouillage manuel de l’ensemble de votre liste de clients.
• Aucun processus reproductible ne signifiera que chaque soumission trimestrielle sera recréée à partir de zéro.

Ce qui devrait prendre 30 minutes par client prendra plutôt une heure. Multipliez cela pour chaque client, chaque trimestre, et les chiffres ne semblent plus durables.

L’effet sur la croissance de votre entreprise

Votre opportunité de croissance peut également en pâtir grâce à MTD for IT. Chaque heure passée à rechercher des clients à la recherche d’enregistrements ou à formater des données représente une heure. pas consacrés au travail de conseil, aux relations clients ou à la croissance de votre entreprise.

Vos relations existantes sont également en jeu. Quiconque a géré un cabinet pendant la période des impôts sait à quelle vitesse la qualité peut diminuer lorsque l’on est surchargé. Les temps de réponse diminuent, les communications chutent et le service qui a séduit le client en premier lieu commence à paraître différent.

MTD créera ces périodes de pointe chaque trimestre.

Cela sera suivi par des extensions d’API étendues qui ouvrent la plate-forme à une gamme plus large d’intégrations tierces et d’outils de reporting.

L’essentiel : les comptables peuvent prospérer avec le bon logiciel numérique

À partir de maintenant, MTD ne fera que devenir un fardeau encore plus lourd. Ceux qui n’automatisent pas n’auront d’autre choix que de travailler plus vite.

Mais les gagnants seront ceux qui travailleront le plus intelligemment. Ceux qui intègrent la bonne structure à leurs flux de travail comptables en récolteront les fruits.

Cela vaut la peine de penser à automatiser la collecte de données, à standardiser votre flux de travail, à avoir une visibilité en temps réel sur vos obligations et à tirer le meilleur parti des outils d’IA disponibles dans des logiciels tels qu’IRIS Elements.

In the Autumn 2025 Budget, it was easy to miss an important update regarding the penalties under the digitalization of tax for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD for IT).

In this blog we will look at the announcement and how accountants should respond to the news.

What the budget tells us about MTD for IT’s penalty regime

It has been confirmed that, for the first year, HMRC will not apply a penalty for late quarterly submissions. However, a fine will be imposed in the event of late payment.

The following year will see a MTD penalty point system for IT and higher fines for missing payments.

The announcement

In the Budget, the UK Government explains: “The Government will not apply late submission penalties for quarterly updates in the 2026-27 tax year for ITSA (Income Tax Self Assessment) taxpayers required to join Making Tax Digital (MTD). The Government will apply the new late submission and late payment penalty regime to all ITSA taxpayers who are not yet due to join the new system from 6 April 2027.”

It adds: “This will be legislated via secondary legislation. The Government will increase the penalties payable for late payment of ITSA and VAT from 1 April 2027. This will be legislated via secondary legislation.”

What is likely to happen next year – MTD for IT penalty points explained

The system is likely to follow the same points-based penalty system as MTD for VAT registered businesses. However, it is it is important to understand that this penalty system could be subject to change.

The points system for late submissions under MTD

Here’s a quick reminder of how HMRC’s MTD penalties work for VAT registered businesses: each late submission earns one ‘point’. Annual and quarterly submissions have different point thresholds before a financial penalty is applied.

Late submissions – annual filing

• 2 “points” result in a £200 penalty.
• Each subsequent late annual return carries a penalty of £200.

Late submissions – quarterly updates:

• If you accumulate 4 points there is a £200 penalty.

How do MTD penalty points reset?

Points are reset to zero if:

• All submissions are on time for 24 months (annual) or 12 months (quarterly) and
• All previously due submissions have been received.

Late penalties

These apply to balances or amounts due after modification/assessment.

• After day 15: 3% of unpaid tax.
• Day 30: 3% additional.
• After day 30: 10% per year until paid.

Interest is charged in addition.

Remember: suspension of sanctions is not a license to relax

With late payment penalties not being introduced for another year, what should accountants do?

MTD for IT’s quarterly updates could pose the biggest threat to accounting efficiency in a generation. The administration involved – for the accountants and the client – ​​means it’s not that different from having a busy season four times a year. Every minute will count.

Use this time to learn as many lessons as possible. This means you need to start MTD for IT the way you want: it’s the only way to test the real weaknesses in your processes. This will reduce the risk of late submission penalties from 2027.

It is also important to remember that late payment penalties are still in effect.

Solutions and resources for you and your customers

See you here

Check that your systems are ready

You need to ensure that your company’s digital systems are not wasting time and are being used to their full capacity.

Your best place to start is to make sure your system synchronizes data, automates processes, and alerts you if something goes wrong. The best of them are cloud-based, allowing teams to work from anywhere with an internet connection. These systems also help you communicate with customers and maintain a centralized database – a central list where all data is kept. This way you don’t need to log into different applications or re-type data.

Your MTD IT Readiness Checklist

Make sure you have segmented your base: Can your system easily help you verify which customers fall under MTD and when?

Confirm HMRC connections: Is your solution HMRC recognized? HMRC tests the software to ensure it is compatible with the filing of MTD submissions.

Make sure you have monitoring: Controls are essential, so make sure you’re connected to a system that can monitor workloads across your entire business. Your system should see submission status, adjustments, and deadlines in a single view.

Often referred to as a “practice management” or “task management” solution, this part of your system should include:

• Dashboards for managers to track progress and bottlenecks.
• Centralized task management for quarterly updates and customer communications.
• Shared calendars and deadlines to keep everyone aligned.
• Workflow automation for recurring tasks, such as finding customer data.

Make sure you can collect information easily: It is essential that all documents are stored in a central location and are easily accessible to team members with the appropriate permissions. Use secure portals for client communication to protect sensitive data – and ensure smaller clients have their own accounting software or you can import their spreadsheets into your MTD recognized system.

Check that your software has anomaly detection: With multiple submissions, can you see where errors might creep in?

Carefully review any manual processes

Every manual process will slow you down and make record keeping haphazard. Remove any workarounds you may have, such as spreadsheets, to ensure you can:

• Prevent errors
• Comply with HMRC compliance rules
• Work quickly
• Maintain an audit trail
• Large-scale operations during peak periods
