It is taxing enough for many of us to submit a yearly tax return to HMRC. But now we think this new implementation of making tax digital, using new software and quarterly submissions is taking things just too far. Please stop making tax digital which is due to be started in April 2026. We think paying tax is hard enough but this is going to just add insult to injury.
