MTD for income tax, compliance and the AI-enhanced accountant and bookkeeper: The new normal

As MTD for Income Tax advances, HMRC’s priority is better data, fewer errors, and closing the tax gap – enabled by technology. This session explores how AI, automation, and AI agents can support compliant MTD IT workflows by improving data accuracy and flagging errors early, while keeping the accountant and bookkeeper firmly in control.
Bringing together HMRC, tax experts, and practitioners, the session connects HMRC’s digital roadmap with real-world firm experience and the practical steps firms can take now to prepare for the next phase of MTD IT.
