Ryan Launches Software Application to Comply with UK Government Making Tax Digital for Business Initiative
LONDON, Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan, a leading global tax services and software provider, recently released Ryan MTD Bridge, an Excel-based software application for corporations seeking an immediate solution to meet the U.K.'s new Making Tax Digital for Business (MTDfB) requirements. MTDfB is a U.K. government initiative that sets out a vision for the "end of the tax return" and a "transformed tax system" by 2020. As a first step toward this transformation, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is requiring businesses to use the MTDfB system to meet their value added tax (VAT) obligations in 2019. Beginning 1st of April, companies whose taxable turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold must begin keeping records digitally and submit VAT returns via HMRC's application programming interface (API). The portal most commonly used today will no longer be available.
Ryan MTD Bridge is designed to quickly and affordably address this pending VAT compliance requirement while providing an extended timeframe for oganisations to strategically address the evolving regulations and remain compliant. Recognising the majority of U.K. VAT return preparation takes place in Excel, Ryan MTD Bridge was developed in Excel to be easily incorporated into existing processes and is recognised by HMRC.
"Ryan MTD Bridge is designed to fit seamlessly into our clients' processes and implementation and meet the basic functionality that is required," said Grant Smith, Ryan principal and Tax Technology practice leader. "We created this product to be a bridge to a permanent solution, with a minimal investment, and be supported by Ryan's industry-recognised commitment to client service excellence."
