Having been out to a few consulting clients recently, it’s clear that accountants are feeling genuinely overwhelmed. There are so many products on the market right now, all promising to solve the same problems, and it’s becoming harder for firms to work out which tools will actually support them through MTD rather than add more noise.

The choice is huge, the deadlines are tight, and everyone is trying to future‑proof their processes at the same time. It’s no wonder practices are feeling the pressure.

As you say we have time but the year will fly by. At least we'll have learned a lot by April next year. It will be great to keep the insights coming.

While we’ve been beta testing across various projects, the software providers and banks have worked extremely hard to put things in place so we can manage the workload coming our way.

Things continue to evolve, with features like ‘bulk submission’ in products such as FreeAgent and ‘auto-submission’ from Xero. Dext has also introduced ‘Dext Solo’, which makes it really easy for simple sole traders and CIS clients.

I think once the first year is out of the way with the £50k threshold, it will give us plenty of time to get our ducks in a row ahead of the next wave - the £30k group coming in 2027. Making VAT coterminous with MTD dates will also ease the burden of additional deadlines and workload, with the hope that VAT and MTD submissions can be done together.
