MTD for Income Tax is live and the population subject to mandatory obligations is growing. The clients most likely to catch your firm off guard are not the obvious ones - they are near-threshold clients whose aggregated income across trading and property quietly tips them into mandatory scope.

Meanwhile, VAT errors are accumulating in the background. Wrong tax codes, mis-applied reverse charges, and manual journal workarounds are silently distorting nine-box returns across your client base. Under the points-based penalty system, each mistake counts before the total triggers a financial penalty.

This session shows you how to use XBert's AI Audit and Custom XBerts to screen your entire client base automatically - flagging mandatory MTD obligations, filing readiness gaps, and the VAT errors most likely to cause problems. No spreadsheets. No manual checklists. No flying blind.
