MTD Services for Accountants in UK
Making Tax Digital turns one annual return into five submissions per client, and most practices cannot absorb that without help. ABM Chartered Accountants supports fellow accountants with overflow quarterly processing, technical advice, white-label onboarding and specialist referrals.
A Chartered Partner Behind Your Practice
Our Making Tax Digital for accountants service is built by practitioners for practitioners. We provide capacity for quarterly update preparation during peak periods, working inside your software and processes so clients see only your brand. Our technical team answers MTD questions on qualifying income, easements, exemptions and software behaviour, and we can onboard your clients to compatible software under your name.
For clients outside your specialism, such as FCA-regulated firms, solicitors or complex property portfolios, we offer a referral partnership with clear written fee-sharing terms agreed upfront.

MTD for Accountants FAQs
Answers to the questions practice owners ask most about partnering with ABM on Making Tax Digital work.
How does overflow processing work?
You give us access to client records in your software, we prepare the quarterly update to your review standard, and you or we submit through your agent account. Volumes and turnaround are agreed quarterly.
Will my clients know ABM is involved?
Only if you want them to. White-label work is delivered under your practice name and email domain, with ABM staff following your templates and tone of voice throughout.
Can you answer technical MTD questions?
Yes. Partner practices get access to our technical team for questions on qualifying income, joint property easements, exemptions, calendar quarter elections and HMRC correspondence, typically answered within one working day.
How do referral partnerships work?
You introduce a client who needs a specialism you do not offer. We agree scope and fee-sharing in writing, deliver the work and keep you informed. The client relationship remains yours.
Do you sign a confidentiality agreement?
Yes. Every partner arrangement includes a non-solicitation and confidentiality agreement, GDPR data processing terms and confirmation of our professional indemnity cover before any client data is shared.
What does practice support cost?
Overflow processing is priced per update or per client per year. Technical support is included for partner practices. Referral fees are agreed case by case. We quote after a short scoping call.
