MTD For Income Tax (UK)
When we eventually have to submit quarterly IT reports to HMRC, it will be very very helpful to be able to select which income accounts, and which expense accounts are include in the submission. Similar to being able to produce a custom profit and loss report. The reason being that some income or expense categories might be something that only gets included in the year end tax return calculations. My particular scenario as a sole trader is operating only one bank account, into which goes all my income, but out of which comes not only 100% business expenses, but also expenses for which a % allocation has to be made at year end by my accountant. Or sometime excluded from the business accounts altogether. So to be able to submit the quarterly updates either by selecting which are the relevant income and expense accounts, or by basing it on a custom made P+L report would be perfect and super flexible.
