Making Tax Digital, Free and Open

1 users here now

This is a new place for discussing the UK government's Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative. In particular how we as a community can continue to file our taxes freely in terms of both:

• Avoiding high fees and vendor lock-in to commercial software
• Maintaining user freedoms with free and open source software

We are starting some 'wiki' posts that will answer the main questions and be continually updated from your comments:

• Who will be affected by Making Tax Digital?
• Software Choices
