Even with MTD coming into effect, you can still claim business expenses to reduce your tax bill. The main difference is that expenses must be recorded and submitted digitally through HMRC-approved software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains how it works, which expenses you can claim, and how to prepare for MTD without stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is MTD and how does it affect expenses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Making Tax Digital (MTD)<\/strong> is a government initiative requiring self-employed workers to keep records and file updates digitally.
