Tom Simpson of Duncan & Toplis Delivers a Tax Quiz on Making Tax Digital
This week’s 10-minute presentation at Business Networking South Leicestershire (BNSL) was delivered by Tom Simpson of Duncan & Toplis.
Rather than simply talking through tax changes, Tom made the session both informative and entertaining by putting the room to the test with a 10-point quiz on Making Tax Digital.
The quiz covered a range of practical accounting and tax topics that are highly relevant to business owners, sole traders and landlords, including upcoming Making Tax Digital rules, filing deadlines, Xero software pricing, corporation tax thresholds, higher rate tax, employers’ National Insurance, and even a question about Duncan & Toplis itself.
An Informative and Entertaining Quiz
Tom’s quiz format was a great way to keep everyone engaged while also highlighting some very real tax and compliance changes that businesses need to be aware of. The questions focused particularly on Making Tax Digital, which continues to be an important area for sole traders and landlords, as well as wider business taxation topics.
It was a reminder that tax rules are constantly changing, and that keeping up to date is essential if you want to avoid unnecessary confusion or costly mistakes.
Well Done to the Winners
There was a competitive edge to the presentation too, with members keen to prove their tax knowledge.
The joint winners were:
- Helen Davis of Creature Comforts Upholstery
- Fiona Goodman of Beyond Beige
Both achieved an impressive score of 7 out of 10, which was no small feat given the technical nature of some of the questions.
