Extension to start date for Making Tax Digital (“MTD”) for Income Tax Self-Assessment (“ITSA”)

The Government recently announced a one year delay to the roll-out of MTD for ITSA which will now be introduced in the tax year beginning April 2024. 

Separately, we noted in our August Briefing Note that the Government recently consulted on proposed changes to basis periods for Income Tax. The Government has also announced that these proposed changes will not come into effect before April 2024, with a transition year not coming into effect earlier than 2023. The Government will respond to the consultation in due course providing the next steps.
