Are you a self-employed journalist trying to get your head around Making Tax Digital? Do you feel nervous about getting your freelance accounts in order before filing your self-assessment, and are concerned about making mistakes?
Join us on Monday, June 22 for a new workshop in partnership with IPSE (The Self-Employed Association) to get up to speed on Making Tax Digital.
We'll be joined by Arjun Kumar, co-founder of Taxd, an HMRC-recognised digital tax platform combined who can guide you through your tax filings without confusion. In the session, Arjun will cover:
- Making Tax Digital: do freelancers actually need to worry? (Spoiler: it depends on your freelance income, not your total salary);
- What has changed since April 2026: quarterly digital record-keeping and what that looks like in practice;
- What you can claim as a self-employed journalist: equipment, subscriptions, home office, travel and more;
- Your options for staying compliant: tools that won't take over your evenings;
- Plus ask a chance to ask questions about your specific situation in our live Q&A.
Plus, if you miss out on the session, JR members will have another chance to ask Arjun about Making Tax Digital on Tuesday, June 23 over on our exclusive members-only Discord community!
