HMRC's New Tax Penalty System is Here! 🚨

Look at this graphic. It’s a game-changer. Starting this month (April 2026), HMRC has officially rolled out its new "Points-Based" Penalty System for late filings.

Here is what you need to know in Newbury:

✅ It’s an 'Escalator': If you miss a deadline, you don’t get a fine today, but you get 1 point. If you miss 4 quarterly MTD submissions, you get 4 points... and that’s when the £200 fine hits.
✅ MTD is NOW: If you are a landlord or sole trader in West Berkshire earning over £50,000, you are now mandatory for MTD. That means 4 quarterly updates + a final return.
✅ Points Can Be Reset: But only after 24 months of perfect compliance.
