<p>The MTD Watch Series returns for a crucial debrief on the very first live MTD for ITSA pilot quarter. With submissions colliding with summer holidays, how did accountants and their clients actually cope?</p><p>This episode is for any accountant or bookkeeper navigating the MTD transition. Join hosts Aaron Patrick, Suzannah Whelan, and Amy Hancock as they share their personal experiences and dive into a new industry survey where over 75% of respondents called MTD a &quot;bad idea.&quot; They discuss what&#39;s actually working in practice: from segmenting clients (DIY to &quot;shoebox&quot;) and setting clean-up fees, to the software workflows that get the job done.</p><p>The team also gets tactical on policy, debating whether MTD thresholds should be scrapped and arguing against deadline extensions that could harm real-time benefits. You’ll learn how to pre-empt admin pitfalls, tighten client communications, and structure an “MTD-first” onboarding plan.</p><p>Listen now to get a real-world perspective on where the profession stands and what it all means for the future of digital tax.</p>
