I want you to scrap MTD - Making Tax Digital.

Closed 90 signatures

What the petition asks

Under the new MTD Tax system all traders with over £85,000 turnover who are VAT registered have to enter all their business transactions into Accounts software instead of using books and then learn how to submit the figures digitally to HMRC. They cannot afford to do this. It is impossible.
