The Making Tax Digital for Individuals programme was officially closed in May 2018. However, it was recognised that a number of projects within that programme needed to be completed to avoid any potential operational issues for HMRC. The teams and the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) number of personnel that hold responsibility for the work in this area can be seen in the table below:
