June 2026

Welcome to the June 2026 issue of our newsletter.

Digital transformation can deliver many benefits, however, knowing which tools and apps work best for you and your business can be a challenge. The government is committed to harnessing the power of digital technologies, therefore, business and individuals are having to adapt whether they like it or not.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MDT for IT) is now well underway with sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000 keeping digital records and preparing to meet the first deadline of 7 August.

Our lead article talks about e-invoicing which will be mandatory for VAT invoices from 2029. The government believes that this will assist businesses in submitting more accurate tax returns.
