Accountants: The New Year
A preview of the New Year, and a look back at what you might have missed
There's a lot coming up in the New Year.
The expansion of Making Tax Digital continues, and by April 2020 the soft-launch will be over and the real work begins.
This means digitalising all recordings of not just sales - but also purchases, stocks, and fixed asset transactions. And on top of this, penalties will now come into full force, accumulating all infringements over the year for charges of up to 15% of the VAT owed.
So now is the time to press companies to take full notice of these changes, and offer your services to ensure they don’t fall foul of HMRC when it really matters.
And to help you make the most of these opportunities, we’re upgrading our professional accounts with a host of new features in time for the deadline rush.
A new pipeline management tool, upgraded in-account messaging complete with file-sharing functionality, and an SEO-enhanced company profile to boost your brand awareness are just some of the upgrades coming at the start of the New Year.
With that in mind, here's a look back over the new fetures we've brought in this year, so you can make sure you're taking advantage of everything Unbiased has to offer.
