OK I've made progress. Unless you have > £50,000 *gross* income from self-employment plus property rental, you can forget this for another year. The advantage of kicking can down road is other people will be the lab rats for the new scheme. There seems no disadvantage. Ignore your PAYE income. HTH
Any uk taxpayer found an accessible explainer for Making Tax Digital? I actually watched the HMRC webinar which was a superb example of how to bore people stupid without giving them the information they need. Someone surely has cracked this?
