TAMD - what is it?
2 December 2021
Tax Administration and Maintenance Day -TAMD was on 30th November 2021.
But what is it and what does it mean?
At the Autumn Budget the Chancellor made a commitment that there would be a separate day following the budget that would be dedicated to the administration and maintenance of the UK’s tax system. It was later announced that this Tax Administration and Maintenance Day TAMD would be on 30th November 2021.
The idea behind TAMD is to publish various documents which include new consultations as well as updates on existing consultations and announcements made at the Autumn Budget which took place on 27th October 2021. (Read our blog for an overview of the main points discussed in the Autumn budget). There will be summaries of responses to any recently closed consultations and technical information notices.
These announcements are mainly in relation to the ongoing initiatives to modernise and improve the UK tax system and its administration. It confirms how the tax system is being simplified, modernised, making it more user friendly in order for it to be easier to get peoples tax correct.
Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Lucy Frazer said:
“We want to build a tax system which supports the economic recovery, is simpler for businesses, and helps taxpayers get their tax right the first time.
Today’s announcements set out what we are doing to achieve this – providing people and businesses with an opportunity to engage in this work and help shape this reform.”

If you're a sole trader or landlord earning over £50,000 a year, big changes are coming your way. From April 2026, you'll need to comply with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for ITSA) and while that might sound like it's a long way off, it’s closer than it seems. At Books and Business, we work closely with those in the trades and construction sector, and we know that admin is rarely top of the to-do list when you're running jobs, managing quotes, and keeping customers happy. But this change will affect how you keep records and report your income, so starting early is key. Lets get into what MTD for ITSA means for your business and more importantly how we can support you every step of the way.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD ITSA) is coming, now is the time to get prepared! Whether you're a sole trader, subcontractor, or running a small limited company, choosing the right accounting software will keep you compliant and help you stay in control of your finances. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the best MTD software for your business? Here are some key features to look for: HMRC Compatibility The most important feature is that the software you choose is MTD compliant. It should link directly with HMRC so you can send updates digitally as well as meet other MTD obligations. Ease of Use Your time is best spent on-site, not buried in admin. Choose software that’s straightforward and suits your level of accounting knowledge. Look for mobile apps and dashboards that give you access on the go. Automation & Reporting The best systems will save you time by automating recurring tasks, like invoicing, expense tracking, and mileage logs as well as offering clear reports to help you understand where your money's going. Pricing & Scalability Think about where your business is headed. Can the software grow with you? Choose a platform that fits your budget now, but also supports features like payroll, CIS returns, or multiple users down the line. What are the most popular software options: QuickBooks – A popular option for trades and small business owners, offering strong mobile tools and CIS features. Xero – Great for real-time visibility, simple bank feeds, and job costing add-ons. FreeAgent – Perfect for sole traders and subcontractors, especially those who like things kept simple. Sage – Well-established and ideal if you’re looking for a more traditional setup with solid support. You’ve chosen the software but why make the switch now If you’re still using spreadsheets or a paper-based system, we cannot stress enough that now is the time to go digital . Getting ahead of the MTD deadlines gives you time to learn the software, avoid penalties, and work out any teething problems before submissions are mandatory.
