Watch out for HMRC Scams
It could be a scam if it:
1. is unexpected, 2. offers a refund, tax rebate or grant, 3. asks for personal information like bank details, 4. is threatening, 5. tells you to transfer money
You can be sure that HMRC will:
1. only ever call you asking about a claim or payment on a debt that you already know about, 2. never leave a voicemail threatening legal action, 3. never give the reason for a call on a voice message
If you receive any communication through WhatsApp claiming to be from HMRC it’s a scam.

Making Tax Digital
| Posted on December 12, 2018 at 6:00 AM |
From 1 April 2019, all who are VAT registered with an annual VAT-able turnover above £85,000 (the current compulsory registration threshold) will be mandated to keep a digital record of their VAT transactions. As well as having to file MTD-compliant VAT returns using API enabled software for all VAT return periods commencing after 31 March.
If you are registered for VAT it is time to check that your book-keeping software is the latest MTD compliant version and that your VAT Returns can then be filed using API software.
A list of compliant software can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/software-for-sending-income-tax-updates#VAT.

It is wonderfully open-handed of you to give without restraint just what many people might have made available for an electronic book to help make some dough for their own end, specifically considering the fact that you could possibly have done it in case you desired. Those principles also served as a good way to be sure that other people online have a similar passion like my personal own to figure out whole lot more related to this condition. I am sure there are many more fun situations ahead for individuals that take a look at your blog post.
