MTD Myths — Busted!

Making Tax Digital (MTD) doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Don’t let common misconceptions hold you back from going digital. Here’s the truth behind the most widespread MTD myths.

Myth 1: “It’s Expensive”

Myth 2: “I’m Not Tech-Savvy”

✅ Truth: If you can take a photo, you can use Dext + QuickBooks. Both platforms are mobile-friendly, intuitive, and simple to use, so tech experience isn’t required.
