Don't get trapped by bridging software: why spreadsheets won't survive the MTD era

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax is now in full swing, and accountants and bookkeepers across the UK are focusing on making quarterly updates manageable for the long term. If you used bridging software to file your clients’ first quarterly updates, that may have been the practical option for clients who still manage their records in spreadsheets. Bridging tools provide a seemingly easy path: they allow you to meet the filing requirements without changing established client habits or putting pressure on clients to switch to new software at short notice.
