Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax ready for the pilot?
    CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax is suitable for supporting customers interested in taking part in the MTD pilot in 2025, to get ahead for when MTD becomes mandatory in April 2026.
  • Will quarterly data imports from bookkeeping software into CCH be possible?
    We expect to have the option to integrate data from bookkeeping software into CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax in the second half of 2025. The first release focuses on integrations with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage Business Cloud, and FreeAgent, thereafter we will be releasing integrations on an on-demand based on feedback from customers.

    Where the quarterly submissions are made in different software (i.e. software other than CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax) then we include functionality to retrieve the data submitted and display within CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax, along with the status of the Obligations for each of the quarters.
  • Will the OneClick function still be relevant or applicable?
    CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax will only be available as part of our CCH iFirm cloud suite. We’re looking to migrate MTD for VAT from OneClick to CCH iFirm.
  • Is there the option to just type the numbers in as opposed to an import?
    Manually retyping data or copying and pasting is not allowed under MTD. One of the MTD requirements is the use of digital links. 
    This means that from the point where business records are created in software (this includes spreadsheets), all transfers of data will have to be made digitally up to the point the data is submitted as part of the quarterly submission.
  • Is there a report that can be run to identify clients caught by MTD from April 2026 based on 2024 returns?
    Yes, we have MTD for Income Tax reports in CCH Reporting and developed a script to help you identify mandated clients for April 2026, April 2027, and April 2028. If you don’t have these reports or the script on your system, you can download it  from the Support Portal and install on you system.
  • Where can we find the excel template for bridging the income and expense information for a given business into CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax?
    The Excel templates can be downloaded directly from CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax from the drop down. This includes the option to download a template for that business type (sole trade or UK property).
  • Can CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax be used as bridging software?
    Yes, initially CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax will bridge data in from spreadsheets for the quarterly submissions. Then we’ll extend this functionality to import data from third-party bookkeeping software, where the preference is to make the quarterly submission within CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax.
  • If a supporting agent submits the quarterly submission for a different software provider does the quarterly submissions information show on our side?
    Where the taxpayer or a supporting agent makes the quarterly submissions from a third-party provider we will include functionality in a future release to retrieve the summary totals and display within CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax, along with the status of the obligations for each of the quarters.
