12 Reasons Your Email Deliverability Suffers and How to Fix It

#Reasons #Email #Deliverability #Suffers #Fix

Most people send emails under the general assumption that they’ll be delivered.

That, coupled with email service providers (ESPs) bragging about 99% delivery rates, has led to misplaced confidence in a campaign’s potential reach. An unfortunate similarity in spelling aside, delivery and deliverability are substantially different.

What is email deliverability?

Delivery measures an ESP’s ability to take your email and chuck it in the general direction of the recipient’s email address without bouncing back. But whether that email is allowed inside and offered tea and biscuits is a different matter altogether. It’s called email deliverability and measures the number of emails:

Not blocked by spam filters
Not sent to a recipient’s spam folder

Why does email deliverability matter?

Simply put, email deliverability, also known as inbox placement rate, refers to successfully placed emails in an inbox. As of 2021, the deliverability rate hovers around 80%, meaning one out of every five emails never makes it to a recipient’s primary inbox.

The higher your deliverability rate, the more you have a fighting chance of your email being read, considered, and possibly acted upon. On the other hand, low deliverability lowers your email marketing rate of interest (ROI) and wastes the effort put into creating a campaign.

What affects email deliverability? How to improve it

You could be doing things wrong or not at all that get your emails marked as spam. Here are some common issues plaguing email deliverability health and the best practices to deal with them.

Buying email lists

Everyone loves a good shortcut. But good shortcuts are not to be confused with just any shortcut. Or we’d all be jumping down cliffs instead of rappelling our way to the bottom.

Even if you’re shelling out the big bucks to buy a top-notch, specially curated list that a lead generation company has pinky-promised, it won’t sell to another business like yours. You have to understand that the people on that list have still not chosen to be contacted by you.

When you email them without their permission or expressly against it, they will, at the very least, mark you as spam. Sometimes, their spam filters beat them to it and preemptively flag your emails. When this happens repeatedly, it damages your sender reputation irreparably.

Building an email list from scratch is time-consuming, but it’s much more reliable. Start with the basics and use pop-ups and embedded forms to categorize users into different segments from the very beginning.

Missing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC

Authentication is the first step to getting emails delivered. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are the three basic security protocols that prove an email’s authenticity. If configured right, they form a protective bubble around your email and ensure its safe delivery to an inbox.

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) verifies the sender’s identity by listing authorized servers and IP addresses that can send emails on your behalf. An email from an unauthorized source will be flagged as spam, improving your domain credibility.

To set it up, visit your domain provider’s website and add the SPF record as a TXT file to the DNS settings.

Source: EASYDMARC

A registered sub-domain for cold email outreach helps bypass certain domain-based certification filters. DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) involves encryption and functions as a seal on an envelope. It lets the recipient’s email client know that the email comes from a verified source and that its contents have not been tampered with.

You can generate the DKIM public and private keys on your ESP’s website, or using a DKIM record generator tool. The public key becomes available to everyone after being added to the DNS records on your domain provider’s website as a TXT or C-NAME file.

Source: EASYDMARC

When you send an email with your private key, the recipient’s server will match the two keys to verify that the email is from you.

Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) acts as an enforcer if an email from your organization fails SPF or DKIM verification or both.

It decides whether such an email will be:

Rejected by the recipient servers
Quarantined
Passed for further processing

Source: EASYDMARC

You can’t have more than one DMARC record at a time, so run a check before you create a new one. After saving or adding a DMARC record to your DNS settings, it takes about one to three days to update.

Skipping email verification

You need to verify emails for the same reasons you look both ways when you cross the road. It’s quick, practical, and much more beneficial when you do it beforehand. An email verifier can check if the email address on your cold emailing list exists and can receive emails without actually sending an email.

Source: Hunter

A good email verifier lets you bulk verify all the addresses on your list to streamline the process. Create a fixed 6-month or yearly schedule to maintain list hygiene. If your email list is exceptionally long, you can bring down the interval to 3 months.

If an email address comes back as unverified, remove it from your list and find an alternate email address for the lead. Or find the next best person in the organization to contact.

Missing double opt-in

Email marketers are a bandwagon-hopping lot. And when it comes to email lists, the ‘bigger is better’ bandwagon holds most marketers. Since double opt-ins don’t exactly grease the wheels of list growth, most businesses set them aside for their faster, looser counterparts – single opt-ins. But when your emails are plagued by low deliverability, implementing double opt-ins could save you from a fast ride to nowhere.

It improves the quality of additions to your email list by adding a single extra step – a confirmation email asking users if they want to subscribe. Not only does this keep spambots and out-of-order email addresses off your list, but it also leaves you with high-intent leads that are more likely to open and engage with your emails.

If the idea of fewer subscribers is making you jittery, you can circumvent the drawbacks by offering value adds in the form of free content.

Source: social triggers

Instead of offering a single freebie, break it into parts to segment subscribers according to interest and intent. And always disclose the requirement for email confirmation on the sign-up page.

Your confirmation email doesn’t have to be boring, either, as Buzzfeed shows here.

Sending emails from a free (personal) email address

Picture this. A perfect stranger walks up to you, introduces themselves, and insists you try the new Nina Ricci perfume because it pairs beautifully with the body butter you use. You’re still making up your mind about going into full-blown panic attack mode over this when you notice they’re wearing the all-black uniform of a Macy’s store assistant and have a pink name tag that says ‘Katie’.

That’s the difference between approachable and unprofessional. When you use a personal email address to cold email people, they cannot assess your credibility. If they decide to open your email, you will alarm them or at least bother them enough to mark it as spam. But when you send emails from an official domain, you’re much less likely to get flagged by filters or recipients themselves.

Make your emails more personable by specifying an alias and the company name in the “from” field. For example, ‘Dan from Spotify’ retains the human touch without compromising brand recognition or sending spam filters into overdrive. You can also use an email signature with all your social media handle links or a link to a company homepage.

Writing misleading subject lines

There’s a lot of pressure on subject lines, considering they’re the determining factor for opening an email for about 70% of people. And this pressure can lead to subject lines that range from the far-fetched (This Product Will Save Your Life!) to the outrageously false (Your Order Has Been Shipped). The latter obviously being sent to people who haven’t ordered anything but are being educated about a product or service that the sender thinks they should buy.

Just because your subject lines shouldn’t be misleading doesn’t mean they have to be overly honest. If that were the case, most subject lines would read, ‘Here’s a product you probably don’t want to buy, but please do anyway.’

Create an air of mystery by saying something like ‘{first_name}, I think I’m going to quit. Or ‘Did you watch the super bowl last night?’ If storytelling isn’t up your alley, stick to a basic formula of non-generic phrases + lowercase letters. You can also use a subject-line tester before you send out the email.

Writing spammy email copy

When deciding the fate of your email, spam filters do more than look for words on a spam trigger list. You know, those intimidatingly long ones covering nearly everything you want to say in a cold email? They also take a good long look at your engagement rates.

And the only way to write emails that get read is to cut out all that gimmicky, pushy, desperate-sounding stuff and sound like yourself.

“The way you’d sound while talking to a client at a coffee place, not a Michelin-star restaurant with hand-painted porcelain, and certainly not a train station stall where you can see teeth marks on your disposable cup, but somewhere in between without being pretentious or shady.”

Use personalized openers about:

A recent professional or company achievement: ‘Just saw you guys hit 50K average monthly users!’
A popular blog post: ‘I’ve seen so many people share your blog on creating the perfect proposal template on Twitter.’

Then segue into talking about their pain points or upgrades they could benefit from. Personalized, warm, and authentic copy increases conversions and shows clients they’re not just another revenue stream to you.

Adding too many visuals to your email copy

Emails with images are a great way to boost open rates, but going overboard with them isn’t advisable either. Visual-heavy emails have slower load times and aren’t search-friendly and accessible.

Also, plain text doesn’t always equal boring. If that were true, you’d never read any of the texts from your friends, and each one of the hundreds of flyers on the subway stairs would be etched in your head.

Your leads aren’t kindergarteners whose eyes will glaze over at a triple-digit word count. Use pictures, GIFs, and videos strategically throughout your email to complement your copy, not replace it. That way, you maintain an HTML size lower than 102 kb and avoid clipping your emails.

Use real images to stand out amongst stock images or a video – like Wistia did to increase their open rates by 41%.

Gamification, too, increases engagement.

There’s also the added advantage of your emails not looking like this if a lead has their image display turned off.

Using URL shorteners

Do you know what many email marketers have in common with scammers apart from a shared dislike of overactive spam filters? A fondness for shortened links. Shortening links can be useful on platforms like Twitter, where the character limit is low. The second major reason to use them is data collection, another basic facility already provided by most ESPs.

It’s understandable if you don’t want a three-line chunk of text skewing the visual appeal of your cold email. But using shortened links when you already have low deliverability isn’t just redundant; it’s self-sabotaging.

The algorithms of most email clients sniff out emails that look like scammers have sent them, and using URL shorteners puts you in a dubious company. You might want to switch to using call-to-action (CTA) buttons in your emails instead. They’re sightly and easy to create.

If that’s too radical for you, use trusty, old HTML to transform any picture or text into a link.

Sending attachments

Cold emails are, quite simply, cold. They don’t come from a sender the recipient is familiar with; even the best-worded email copy can only take you so far. Instead of expecting your leads to download files from a sender they have no reason to trust, send them a link to the page on your website you’re hosting it on. You can create a landing page with pop-ups or related information to take them further down the sales funnel.

Or take inspiration from this template and ask for their permission before you send them a file.

Not having a clear unsubscribe button

When a user unsubscribes from your emails, it’s sometimes because of a drop in content quality. But it’s more likely that your emails aren’t relevant anymore, or there are too many of them. It’s tempting to prevent unsubscribes by not including an unsubscribe link in your emails or having a broken link, but that’s illegal under just about every data protection law.

You might try to make the link as inconspicuous as possible, but that only antagonizes people further. If you give them an easy way out, a user looking to unsubscribe won’t have to mark your email as spam.

Source: Heyday

Giving users an opt-down opportunity also reduces the number of opt-outs you get. Set up a redirect to a preference center, giving your users options ranging from receiving emails only about a specific topic, or once a month, or not at all.

Source: Archant

If you have a large volume of users that haven’t opened your emails for months or years, be proactive and remove them from your list. But keep them informed if they wish to stay subscribed or subscribe again.

Not measuring your email bounces

In a sea of campaign data, this is one metric you must keep an eye on. As you can tell from the name, a bounce occurs when your email gets sent back instead of getting delivered to an email address. But not all bounces are created equal.

They can be soft bounces, which means they’re temporary and will self-resolve. When an inbox is full or a server is down, emails get rejected until the problem is taken care of. The second type is hard bounces, which could happen for many reasons. They’re not all within your control; hence, they’re not preventable but can be managed and minimized.

Reason for Hard Bounce	Course of Action
Recipient’s address is invalid	Use double opt-in during sign-up to prune typos or fake addresses.
Recipient’s address has been deactivated	Regular email verification cycles will identify non-functional addresses and invalid domains. Advertisement
Domain name is invalid
Email blocked by recipient’s server	Improve engagement rate and sender reputation to avoid emails being rejected.

Your bounce rate is the percentage of total emails that were sent back by recipient servers. If you want to fly under the radar of spam filters, you should keep your combined bounce rate under 2%. A higher number of bounces will wreck your sender’s reputation and lead to even more bounces – a vicious cycle that runs your deliverability into the ground.

Key takeaways for improving your email deliverability

Email deliverability is an often overlooked aspect of email marketing. It can make or break even the best email marketing campaigns if not managed correctly.

Here are the key takeaways that will improve your email deliverability

Avoid buying email lists. Recipients need to give you consent so you can send emails to them. If you buy email lists, you’re already violating GDPR. In the long run, the safest way is to build quality email lists using double opt-ins. Although a slower path, conversions and deliverability from it will be much higher.
Protect your domain reputation by authenticating it. Before sending emails, configure DKIM, SPF, and DMARC, as these are prerequisites for high email deliverability.
Verify email addresses to maintain list hygiene. Professionals change companies and email addresses. The ones that worked earlier may not work in the future. It’s smart to perform an email list audit every quarter, or even more often to ensure you have valid email addresses. Sending an email to an invalid address will result in a hard bounce, impacting the overall sender’s reputation and deliverability.
Implement double opt-in at the time of sign-up. Double opt-in doesn’t directly increase your email deliverability but ensures that people from your email lists want to receive emails from you.
Use an ESP to send emails from a business domain. Always send emails from business domains. It increases the sender’s credibility. Email services such as GSuite offer higher deliverability from the start.
Craft interesting, non-generic subject lines. Use personalized and short subject lines that are on point and not misleading the recipient.
Write spam-free copy in a tone that matches your brand. Avoid having spam and misleading words in your email copy since most email filters automatically scan through email copy and mark emails as spam if your email copy triggers spam filters.
Use images and videos in moderation. Having interactive content in your emails is nice, but never overuse it. Make sure to limit the size of HTML to ensure the highest speed load of your emails.
Swap out shortened URL links with CTA buttons. Shortened URLs in your copy could trigger spam filters. A safer way is to create CTA buttons that are easy to notice and track in your email copy.
Use file links instead of attachments in emails. Attachments work only if you send them to people who expect attachments from you. For cold emails, don’t use attachments.
Give users a clear unsubscribe option. It’s better that users unsubscribe from your list than report you as a spammer. So make sure to have a visible unsubscribe button in line with the GDPR.
Always measure your email bounces. Nowadays, most email automation tools can measure email bounces. Make sure your bounce rates don’t exceed 2%. If that’s the case, pause all the campaigns and investigate the reason for the high email bounces. It can be many things, but most likely, you’re sending emails to outdated and invalid email addresses.

Change is inevitable

This is a long list of factors, but email deliverability is a sensitive metric. Even a slight tweak to your sending practices can bring phenomenal results. Implement them in your cold email campaigns one at a time, A/B testing all the while to keep track of what works for you and what doesn’t. With a regular sending schedule and quality email copy, it won’t be long before you start seeing real change.

Exclusive: Walmart-owned Sam's Club plans to open about 30 new stores over next five years – TalkOfNews.com

Walmart-owned Sam's Club plans to open about 30 new stores over next five years

Walmart-owned Sam’s Club on Thursday said it will open more than 30 new stores in the U.S., marking its most aggressive expansion in years.

The warehouse club’s next store is expected to open in Florida in 2024. Sam’s Club also plans to open five fulfillment and distribution centers this year, with the first of those opening in Georgia.

CEO Kath McLay said the retailer wants to reach more customers, after sharp gains in sales and an all-time high in membership at its current clubs. It plans to build about 30 clubs over the next five years and likely more in the two years after, she said.

And, she added, as prices of goods and services remain high, she said Sam’s offering has become more relevant.

“During times like inflation, times when people have pressure on their household budget, it’s a time when Sam’s Club can really show up,” she said in a CNBC interview. “So I think the time is really right for us.”

For Sam’s Club, the expansion marks a return to store footprint growth. The club chain has about 600 stores in the U.S., including Puerto Rico. Yet it hasn’t opened a new club in years. It shuttered 63 clubs around the country in 2018, converting a small number of those clubs into e-commerce fulfillment centers.

Its last major expansion was in the 2010s, when it opened five to 10 clubs per year on average. Its most recent new club opened in 2017 in Hanover, Pa.

McLay said the new stores will open in high-growth suburban areas where Sam’s Club has few stores or no stores, but declined to specify the locations, citing competitive reasons. She declined to say how much the company’s buildout of the clubs and e-commerce facilities will cost.

It will also add more people to Sam’s Club’s workforce. Each club typically employs about 150 to 175 people, McLay said. At its fulfillment centers, like the one that is coming to Georgia, Sam’s Club typically employs as many as over 1,000 people and its distribution centers average around 120 workers.

Sam’s Club’s new stores will be about 160,000 square feet — larger than Sam’s Club’s typical footprint of about 140,000. They will include extra space for a sushi island, a full-service floral area and a larger waiting area for customers with a hearing or optical appointment.

New clubs will cater to habits that shoppers picked up during the pandemic, too. There will be more dedicated space for online options, such as a canopy where drivers can retrieve orders by curbside pickup and larger coolers to help employees that prepare online orders for delivery.

A hot moment for warehouse clubs

Over the past three years, more customers have turned to warehouse clubs, including Sam’s Club rivals Costco and BJ’s Wholesale Club. In the early days of the pandemic, shoppers loaded up their pantries with value packs of toilet paper, food and more. Then, as gas prices rose last year, the clubs drew customers by offering a cheaper way to fill up the tank. And as inflation hit a four-decade high, that ratcheted up interest in buying the club’s private labels and bulk items as a way to stretch dollars.

That’s reflected in share gains. Shares of Costco, for instance, have shot up by nearly 60% since the pandemic began.

Sam’s Club is joining its competitors BJ’s and Costco in also opening stores.

Sam’s Club has seen close to double-digit same-store sales gains for more than a year, excluding fuel costs. In the most recent quarter, which ended in late October, its same-store sales rose 10% or nearly 24% on a two-year basis. Its membership income rose 8%.

Private labels are also a big draw to warehouse clubs. Sam’s Club’s private brand, Member’s Mark, accounts for 30% of the store banner’s sales and more than a third in terms of units, McLay said.

For Walmart, Sam’s Club’s expansion plans mark another bullish move for Walmart at a time when some economists anticipate a recession and other retailers hunker down for a tougher year. On Tuesday, the retail giant said it will raise the minimum wage for Walmart store employees in early March as it competes for talent.

Jefferies retail analyst Corey Tarlowe said the club channel, in particular, tends to hold up well, even during an economic downturn.

“People don’t actually tend to cut their memberships, believe it or not because they have to buy food and they want to buy food at the cheapest possible price,” he said. “So they tend to keep their memberships and some people trade into the club channel.”

Along with its store expansion plan, Sam’s Club has stepped up efforts to compete with other grocers and clubs. It raised its membership fee in October, bringing it closer to Costco’s fee. It redesigned existing clubs to make them brighter and less cluttered. And it has added tech-enabled features to Scan & Go, a mobile app that allows customers to skip the cashier line, quickly check out at the gas pump and ship bulky items like TVs instead of carrying them home.

And in November, it knocked down the price of its hot dog-and-soda combo from $1.50 to $1.38 – to undercut rival Costco’s $1.50 combo.

Inflation is slowing but high prices of consumer goods remain sticky

Exclusive: Making Tax Digital: Answers to FAQs on MTD for VAT, Income Tax and Corporation Tax – TalkOfNews.com

How to develop your accountancy practice’s competitive advantage

#Making #Tax #Digital #Answers #FAQs #MTD #VAT #Income #Tax #Corporation #Tax

As an accountant, you need to ensure your practice is responding to the requirements and challenges brought about by Making Tax Digital (MTD), both now and in the coming years.

It presents a once-in-a-generation change for small business accounting, mandating more frequent reporting to HMRC and – of course – the mandated use of software for accounting.

This article aims to answer essential questions about the upcoming waves of MTD, with a particular focus on the earthquake changes within MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (also known as MTD for ITSA).

Information here about ITSA is based on the draft Income Tax (Digital Requirements) Regulations, which itself is subject to revision and change.

What’s written below draws on webinars undertaken with representatives from HMRC and hosted by the experts at Sage, most of whom are former accountants.

The questions asked really are those put to the expert panel by practising accountants.

We cover the following:

Making Tax Digital: A practice survival guide

Need support with Making Tax Digital, for your clients and your practice? This free guide will help you get ready for MTD for VAT, Income Tax Self Assessment and Corporation Tax.

Download your free guide

MTD for Income Tax: Clients

Understanding which clients MTD for ITSA affects, and how, will be key to building out a practice-readiness and response plan for small business clients.

Which of my clients will be affected by MTD for ITSA?

From April 2026, MTD for ITSA will apply to businesses with income greater than £50,000 per year, and from April 2027, to those with income greater than £30,000 per year. This includes all combined income from:

Self-employments
Property businesses (UK and overseas).

These clients will need to follow the rules for MTD for ITSA from their first accounting period that starts on or after 6 April 2026/2027.

Which of my clients do not need to use MTD for ITSA?

The following are not currently required to join MTD for ITSA:

Other types of partnership, including Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), that are not general partnerships with only individuals as partners
Trusts and estates
Trustees of registered pension schemes
Non-resident companies.

The types of clients mentioned above are exempt from the current digital requirements under MTD for ITSA and will continue to complete and file a Self Assessment tax return if required.

This will be the case until the government mandates their use of MTD for ITSA.

As with MTD for VAT, it’s likely MTD for ITSA will be introduced across the space of several years but we do not yet have details of any further waves beyond the first two.

Will limited companies be impacted by MTD for ITSA?

Limited companies are not within scope for MTD for ITSA but will be within scope for MTD for Corporation Tax, which is expected to be mandated from April 2026 at the earliest.

If the business is also VAT registered, will the quarters for VAT submissions be the same as for MTD for ITSA submissions?

According to the draft Income Tax (Digital Requirements) Regulations, the digital start date for income tax reporting may be different to the quarterly reporting periods for VAT.

However, we understand HMRC is looking to address this in the future for those businesses wishing to align their reporting periods to reduce their administrative burden.

Will a VAT registered unincorporated business have to do two sets of quarterly updates, one for VAT and one for MTD for ITSA?

In theory, yes.

However, if the VAT periods and Income Tax periods are aligned, it may be possible to submit the VAT and Income Tax quarterly updates at the same time.

Will VAT and MTD for ITSA deadlines be aligned (e.g. VAT is one month plus seven days whereas ITSA is end of month following)?

There is currently no guidance to indicate the reporting dates will be aligned. However, this may be addressed by HMRC further down the line.

Do MTD for ITSA thresholds apply to the landlord or each property?

The thresholds apply to the total of a taxpayer’s property income and turnover from self-employment.

The threshold would therefore relate to the landlord as opposed to individual properties.

How many submissions will my clients need to do for a two-property rental business with MTD for ITSA?

The number of properties has no impact on the number of submissions. They will need to submit:

Four quarterly updates covering the income and expenses of all properties
An End of Period Statement with any adjustments to the net profit or loss for the period
A final declaration with all other income, gains and reliefs.

If a client has a self-employment business that is below the £50,000 or £30,000 threshold but they have property income that would push them over it, will they need to comply with MTD for ITSA?

The draft Income Tax (Digital Requirements) Regulations suggest that the threshold relates to the total income from a taxpayer’s self-employment and property businesses.

If my MTD for ITSA client has a single property but income is more than £50,000 or £30,000, will I now need software to do their tax submission?

Unless the client is exempt from digital reporting, the rules for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax will apply if the total income from property and self-employment exceeds the threshold.

Are partnerships affected by MTD for ITSA? When will partnerships need to comply with the rules for by MTD for ITSA?

HMRC hasn’t provided a timeline for any partnerships, including LLPs.

Will LLPs be included within the scope of MTD for ITSA?

These might be included in a future wave of MTD for ITSA mandation, but we’ve yet to receive information from HMRC.

Will MTD for ITSA apply to Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)-registered subcontractors?

Yes, there are no exclusions for individuals whose income is partially or wholly within the scope of CIS.

Will CIS rebates be generated quarterly as opposed to after the tax year with MTD for ITSA?

HMRC hasn’t indicated any changes to CIS due to the introduction of MTD for ITSA.

MTD for Income Tax: Sign up

The successful sign up of clients for MTD for ITSA will be the first step to improved client service, so it’s vital that you get it right.

When do my clients need to sign up to MTD for ITSA?

Your clients (or you on their behalf) will need to sign up to MTD for ITSA in advance of their digital start date (see “What is a digital start date for MTD for ITSA?” below).

How do I sign up to MTD?

There is guidance provided by HMRC for both Business sign up and Agent sign up at Gov.uk.

Will I need a new agent services account for MTD for ITSA, or will I use the same one as for VAT?

You can continue to use the same agent services account that you set up for MTD for VAT.

However, you will need to copy your client’s existing authorisation for Self Assessment from your HMRC online services for agents account to your existing agent services account.

Will I need to renew my 64-8 authorisations under MTD (ITSA and VAT)?

If a client is not authorised on your agent services account, you can either:

Copy your client’s existing authorisation to your Agent Services Account, or
Ask the client to sign their own business up, then authorise you for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

Will clients already signed up to MTD for VAT need to also sign up for Income Tax?

If they meet the specified criteria, your clients (or you on their behalf) will need to sign up for MTD for Income Tax.

Is there an MTD for ITSA pilot programme?

Yes. This launched back in April 2018, albeit with limitations on what kinds of business could sign up.

However, as time goes on the pilot programme is opening to more and more businesses. Accountants can sign up clients using at Gov.uk.

MTD for ITSA-compatible software will have to be used to take part in the pilot.

MTD for Income Tax: Record keeping, reporting and submissions

The nitty gritty of MTD for ITSA revolves around digital record keeping and more regular submission to HMRC, including quarterly updates, end of period statements (EOPS) and a final declaration.

How many submissions will I need to file for my clients with MTD for ITSA?

The number of submissions will depend on the number of businesses the client has.

For each business, you will need to file four quarterly updates and an End of Period Statement to finalise business profits.

In addition, if your client has income from property then four quarterly updates and an end of period statement will need to be filed for property income.

You will then submit a Final Declaration with any other income, gains or reliefs.

How will information about personal income be submitted with MTD for ITSA?

Any non-business income will be submitted after the end of the tax year in the MTD for ITSA Final Declaration.

Do the quarterly updates for MTD for ITSA need to include any personal income or just business income?

The quarterly updates only need to include a summary of income and expenses for the business. Non-business income does not have to be submitted periodically.

Will there be any changes to how tax is paid with MTD for ITSA?

No, MTD for ITSA only refers to digital reporting requirements.

It does not affect existing tax rules, including how and when tax is paid.

What happens if I need to amend a submission with MTD for ITSA?

HMRC has stated that corrections to a quarterly update can be made when a subsequent quarterly update or End of Period Statement is submitted, whichever is due first.

Will spreadsheets still be OK to use as a digital record-keeping solution with MTD for ITSA?

The expectation is that spreadsheets will be as acceptable for MTD for Income Tax as they are for MTD for VAT assuming they are MTD-enabled or used with bridging software.

What is a digital link under Making Tax Digital (ITSA and VAT)?

A digital link is where data is transferred or exchanged electronically and is a key component of all Making Tax Digital legislation (VAT, ITSA and likely Corporation Tax).

A digital link should not involve any manual intervention, such as copying and pasting or retyping information.

If I am using a spreadsheet to keep records, will using formulas be compliant with Making Tax Digital (ITSA and VAT)?

The definition of a digital link includes linked cells in spreadsheets.

For example, if you have a formula in one sheet that mirrors the source’s value in another cell, then the cells are linked.

What do I do if my software does not allow me to export information in a way that complies with Making Tax Digital requirement for digital links?

To follow the rules for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, you’ll need to get compatible software.

To check which software packages are compatible, visit the HMRC website.

Will I be able to copy and paste data with Making Tax Digital (ITSA and VAT)?

HMRC does not consider the use of ‘cut and paste’ or ‘copy and paste’ to select and move information to be a digital link.

Will the quarterly obligation periods align to the tax year or the accounting period with MTD for ITSA?

According to the draft Income Tax (Digital Requirements) Regulations, the quarterly obligation periods will depend on the digital start date for a business, which is aligned with its accounting period.

How long after the end of the quarter will I have to submit the update with MTD for ITSA?

According to the draft Income Tax (Digital Requirements) Regulations, quarterly updates are due one month after the end of the quarter.

Does the two thresholds refer to income or profit with MTD for ITSA?

The threshold refers to income rather than profit.

The draft Income Tax (Digital Requirements) Regulations suggest this relates to the income for the accounting period two years before the period in question.

For example, for a period ended 5 April 2026, this would normally be the income for the period ended 5 April 2024.

If my client has multiple businesses which each are below the £50,000 or £30,000 but collectively have income over the threshold, will they be within scope of MTD for ITSA?

The threshold relates to the sum of the businesses.

So income across all businesses that would normally be included in your Self Assessment return should be used to assess whether the individual is within scope of MTD for ITSA.

MTD for Income Tax and Self Assessment

MTD for ITSA doesn’t mean the end of Self Assessment – at least not in the initial April 2026 rollout.

Self Assessment will still be a requirement for many who aren’t within the scope of MTD for ITSA.

It might even continue to be a necessity for many who are mandated for MTD for ITSA, as described below.

If the qualifying income is below the £50,000 or £30,000 MTD for ITSA thresholds, will they continue with the current process for Self Assessment?

Yes, if qualifying income is below £50,000 in April 2026, or below £30,00 in April 2027, then they are exempt from the current digital requirements under MTD for ITSA and will continue to complete and file a Self Assessment tax return if required.

How does MTD for ITSA change the current process for Self Assessment?

Similar to MTD for VAT, MTD for ITSA requires businesses and landlords to keep their records digitally and to submit quarterly updates of business income and expenses to HMRC using MTD-compatible software.

Business owners and landlords will no longer file an annual Self Assessment tax return.

Instead, they will be required to send tax adjustments (the End of Period Statement) for each business, as well all other details to finalise their overall tax position (the Final Declaration) after the end of the tax year.

Will I still have to complete a Self Assessment tax return for my client with MTD for ITSA?

You will only need to complete a Self Assessment tax return for clients within the scope of MTD for ITSA if the information you need to submit is not supported under Making Tax Digital.

With MTD for ITSA, will the current Self Assessment process change for clients that do not have property or self-employment income but complete Self Assessment for other reasons?

No. MTD for ITSA only applies to individuals with income from self-employment or property businesses that are subject to Income Tax.

If your client is required to complete a Self Assessment tax return for another reason they will continue to do so in line with the current process.

MTD for Income Tax: General questions and answers

Here are some questions about MTD for ITSA that fall outside of the main categories discussed above.

Will I still be able to offset losses between businesses with MTD for ITSA?

Yes, MTD for ITSA does not affect existing tax rules – just how the information is reported. Under MTD you can still claim loss relief as you would under Self Assessment.

What is a digital start date for MTD for ITSA?

According to the draft Income Tax (Digital Requirements) Regulations, the digital start date is the date from which a business must keep digital records and make quarterly submissions.

For self-employments earning over £50,000 per year, the digital start date is the day after the first accounting period that ends on or after 5 April 2026. For those earning over £30,000, the digital start date is 5 April 2027.

For property businesses, the digital start dates are 6 April 2026 and 6 April 2027 based on the same income thresholds.

Will it be essential to use software to comply with the rules of MTD for ITSA?

Yes, a relevant entity must use functional compatible software to comply with the following requirements (“the digital requirements”):

(a) to record digital records

(b) to preserve those digital records

(d) to provide, as applicable, an end of period statement or a Schedule A1 partnership return.

Can the bookkeeping solution and the tax solution be different for MTD for VAT/ITSA, or will I need a single provider for the full process?

Bridging software is the name for solutions that combine information from different software and digitally submit the submissions to MTD.

Solutions that use bridging software will meet the MTD requirements so long as digital links are preserved

Will Sage software be compliant with MTD for ITSA?

Sage will have solutions for our customers to meet their MTD for ITSA obligations.

Sage is working closely with HMRC, accountants and small business owners to understand and build a great user experience to support the next wave of Making Tax Digital that covers Income Tax.

Will we have to pay for MTD for ITSA-compatible software?

Customers will need to be on the latest version of their Sage software to benefit from MTD for ITSA enhancements.

This is likely to require that customers have valid software subscriptions.

MTD for VAT: General questions and answers

Although many accountants have worked on MTD for VAT for several years, they often ask specific questions.

Here are some answers.

Do VAT-registered businesses with turnover below £85k have to follow MTD for VAT rules?

All VAT-registered businesses need to follow MTD for VAT unless HMRC approves that the business is exempt.

What were the changes in how VAT submissions could be filed in April 2021?

HMRC stopped accepting electronic VAT returns via the legacy XML gateway.

Businesses voluntarily registered for VAT and which used the XML gateway must use MTD for VAT.

How will MTD for VAT work for a group of companies sharing the same VAT number (which is to say, group consolidation)?

There is no change to the rules for VAT groups.

Will a VAT registered unincorporated business have to do two sets of quarterly updates, one for VAT and one for Income Tax?

Yes, although businesses can synchronise their year ends so the quarterly filing obligations can be completed at the same time.

Are bridging solutions still acceptable for MTD for VAT?

Yes.

Will the quarterly obligation periods for MTD for VAT align with those for MTD for ITSA?

Businesses will not be required to align their obligation periods but may prefer to align dates to simplify their business processes.

MTD for Corporation Tax: General questions and answers

Although we don’t yet know a lot of detail about MTD for Corporation Tax, we know the broad outline of what’s planned and this is unlikely to change.

When is MTD for Corporation Tax (CT) mandated?

The government has said it will not mandate MTD for CT before 2026.

Many have interpreted this as the government implying the first wave of MTD for CT will be introduced in April 2026.

But this is far from certain, and the government has postponed MTD scheme introduction dates several times in the past (often several times).

What do we know about MTD for CT right now?

The government recently completed a consultation phase and, as part of that, published a document that contains some details of the MTD for CT plans.

Among other things, this provides customer journey flow diagrams that show how MTD for CT is likely to function, and the role of the accountant within it.

At the moment, we know that MTD for CT will require:

Digital record keeping.
Quarterly summary updates of income and expenditure to HMRC. As with MTD for ITSA, this will show expected CT liability.
Digital submission of a Corporation Tax Return. This can be done by the accountant on behalf of the client following adjustments and claims for relief.

When will the MTD for CT pilot programme begin?

HMRC says it expects this to start in April 2024.

At that point interested businesses can sign up ahead of time, provided they’re using MTD for CT-compatible software.

How can I prepare clients for MTD for CT?

Many businesses mandated for MTD for CT will already have experience of MTD for VAT, so this will help with education and awareness.

However, the biggest problems are likely to be encountered at the extreme ends of the business size scale.

Small, incorporated businesses that don’t currently use digital accounting will need to make the switch to doing so.

Large businesses that have disparate systems for recording accounting data will need to ensure they’re digitally linked.

What will be the role of accountants with MTD for CT?

At the very least, HMRC envisions that accountants or tax agents will need to step in nine months after the accounting period in order to make required adjustments, claim any reliefs, and finalise the liability.

However, this is subject to change as more detail is released about MTD for CT.

Final thoughts

Making Tax Digital is going to be one of the biggest and best business opportunities for accountants in the coming decade. Discover how to save time and money by adding automation with our ROI calculator.

Pros and cons of working in basic industries

Like any other industry, every job title has pros and cons. See below for more information about the ups and downs of working in basic industries.

Pros of working in basic industries:

Job stability: Basic industries are only attractive to some. While it takes a particular dedicated type of worker to embrace a basic industry job, that also means plenty of job opportunities and a high level of job stability for those in the industry.
Low barrier to entry: There are thousands of jobs in basic industries that do not require higher education. Instead, many occupations require practical experience or certifications, which are much more affordable than college degrees.
Training opportunities: Once a worker enters the field, there are many adjacent jobs for which their employer may provide training. Technology is constantly evolving, so there are many training opportunities for workers to learn how to operate new technologies.
Opportunity for growth: Basic industries are niche, so there are many opportunities to train and grow in that environment.

Cons of working in basic industries:

Labor-intensive jobs: Basic industry jobs can be tough on the body and the mind. They are the opposite of desk jobs — workers must constantly move, lift and operate heavy machinery. The environment often has high stakes and long work hours, which can affect mental health.
Workforce based on the economy: While many basic industry jobs are essential and ineffective by the economy, others might be subject to furloughs or layoffs in an economic downturn.
Possible hazardous working conditions: Some basic industry occupations are subject to unsafe working conditions like chemicals, pollutants and other dangerous situations with locations and machinery that often contribute negatively to personal and environmental health.

Basic industries and the environment

It’s no secret that industrial practices have damaged the environment and contributed to climate change. The Industrial Revolution was one of the most significant inciting incidents to the manufacturing industry boom.

At the time, people had no idea the long-term effects fossil fuels from large manufacturing plants would someday have on the planet. While so many improvements have been made, industrialization’s carbon footprint from basic industries still occurs today. Keep reading for specific environmental impacts from basic industries.

Water pollution

Water pollution occurs when natural or manufactured chemicals contaminate a water source.

While some water pollution can be identified as murky, odorous or containing trash, the even more dangerous situation is when contaminated water looks completely safe. Natural gas and oil leaks, generally from human activity, cause water pollution.

Air pollution

Air pollution occurs when natural or manufactured hazardous substances contaminate the air. Sometimes, air pollution can be seen, like smog; however, other times, the air might look normal.

According to the World Health Organization, 99%of the world’s population breathes in air contamination, such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide or sulfur dioxide. Too much inhalation of any of these chemicals can cause serious health issues.

Soil pollution

Soil pollution comes from contaminated soil and can harm people or animals who touch, breathe or ingest its toxic properties. It might not seem like soil contamination would affect a large amount of society; however, contaminated soil can be a massive detriment to the entire ecosystem.

Contaminated soil can generate pests and diseases. The animals who eat those pests or the soil are then eaten by larger animals up the food chain.

This is not only harmful to the animals affected but to the humans who consume those animals that now contain bacteria. Contaminated soil can affect the health and food security of the entire planet.

Global warming and climate change

Greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, are emitted from landfills and agricultural industries, which ultimately causes global warming.

Climate change is caused by global warming, as temperatures shift and weather patterns change. These changes affect the entire planet’s ecosystem.

Top sources of greenhouse gas emissions

Six significant industries contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Three of those six are basic industries, including utilities, agriculture and other basic industries. Look below to see where the manufacturing industry ranks compared to the other greenhouse gas emitters.

Utilities: 25%
Other basic industry: 24%
Commercial and residential: 13%
Land use and forestry: 13%
Agriculture: 11%

How can basic industries reduce their carbon footprint?

As the world learns more about climate change and prevention, basic industries can adopt strategies to do their part in cleaning up manufacturing practices.

Waste management

Hazardous waste is a huge contributor to pollution and must be treated and discarded properly to protect the ecosystem. Basic industries can practice strict and clean waste management strategies, including treatment, transportation and disposal, to help reduce their carbon footprint.

Recycle, reduce, reuse

How basic industries treat, transport and dispose of recyclable materials matters. Making sure recyclables are separated is the first step. Large manufacturing plants can also practice upcycling by reusing materials or finding alternative uses when possible.

Mitigate greenhouse gasses

Making the switch to clean and renewable energy is a massive step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to that, gas capture programs can reduce overall gas waste.

More intelligent land use

Before large plants build locations, they should consult ecological experts to ensure the site does not threaten or destroy nearby wildlife. Sites should also have emergency plans in place should a fire, oil spill or another accident occur.

Current technology

Technological advances have produced much cleaner, safer and more efficient machinery. Basic industries can implement these new technologies to reduce their carbon footprints and improve energy efficiency.

One of the most significant switches to consider is utilizing renewable energy, like sun, wind or water.

Promoting environmental awareness

For industries to grow in this area, they must stay current with environmental education.

Two ways to stay up-to-date include performing environmental impact assessments and studying ecological changes. Employee training and company policies are other ways to raise industry-wide awareness.

Companies that care

Each year, more and more companies in various industries pledge to reduce their carbon footprint. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the Green Power Partnership Fortune 500® Partners List, highlighting companies that have adopted green power resources to conduct operations.

Below, you will find eight companies in primary industries that have made commitments and the green power resources they utilized the most.

8 basic industries companies committed to green power

Owens Corning: Solar, wind
The Boeing Company: Small-hydro, solar, wind
Crown Holdings, Inc./USA Beverage Division: Wind
Cummins Inc.: Solar, wind
Lockheed Martin: Various
Textron Aviation: Wind
General Dynamics Land Systems/Central Office: Wind
General Dynamics Land Systems/Scranton: Various

The bottom line: Are basic industries a good career path?

Basic industries are widespread, have a low barrier to entry and many are essential occupations. If you are looking for a career that generally offers solid job security and plenty of opportunity for growth, basic industries can be a good career path.

One drawback to working in basic industries is the health and environmental risk that comes with the territory. Because many sectors of basic industries involve manual labor, there can be dangerous jobs you must complete or hazardous materials you must work with.

When choosing the right industry for you, it is essential to weigh all the details and logistics of each occupation. However, if you conclude that working in basic industries has more pros than cons, then basic industries is a good career path for you.

Will a VAT registered unincorporated business have to do two sets of quarterly updates, one for VAT and one for Income Tax?

Are bridging solutions still acceptable for MTD for VAT?
