No Accounting for Taste ep13: MTD, trade shows and meetings

What will become of George Osborne’s digital dream? A statement from HMRC confirmed last week that the tax authority has had to shuffle the pack and prioritise key Brexit projects at the expense of its digital taxation transformation programme. To discuss the details and what this could mean for accountants was a full cast of AccountingWEB editors, including global editor John Stokdyk and tax editor Rebecca Cave. With two weeks before the great and the good of accountancy descend on London’s docklands for Accountex, the team also discussed the merits (or otherwise) of trade shows. Finally, the pod looked at how to tackle the scourge of unproductive meetings, following Tesla founder Elon Musk’s pronouncement that employees should just get up and walk out if they’re not getting value from office gatherings.
