Making Tax Digital for homeopaths – what’s changing and how to prepare
With Rebecca MacKellar AATQB of Red Tag Bookkeeping & Training Services
Society members join Rebecca for a lunchtime chat, with a focused presentation of around 30-40 minutes followed by a Q&A session.
The workshop is designed to be practical and easy to digest and will also include a real life perspective from a homeopath who has successfully implemented MTD IT, sharing their experience and lessons learned.
Key HMRC deadlines will be explained, helping you understand what’s changing, what it means for yourvpractice, and how to prepare with confidence.
About Rebecca
After a career in the British Army, Rebecca swapped life in uniform for life in the Highlands, moving to Grantown-on-Spey in 1999 to run an outdoor centre and accommodation business. It was a huge change of pace and one that sparked a whole new direction.
While running that first business, she found herself drawn to creating efficient administrative systems. That interest grew into a skill, and before long, she’d also started a second business serving holiday homes, local residents, and businesses across the Cairngorms. Managing the books of both businesses every day gave her a real taste for finance, and in 2020, RedTag Bookkeeping & Admin Services was born.
On discovering XERO cloud accounting software, Rebecca knew she wanted to help other business owners take control of their own accounts. After two years of part-time study during COVID, Rebecca qualified as a bookkeeper with the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) and hasn’t looked back since, having progressed to nearly completing her diploma in professional accounting. Along the way, she’s had some great mentors;“You need to learn how to do your own accounts” (from her husband) and so her first accountant helped to organise a tutor.
Rebecca currently supports self-employed clients through changes in legislation, such as Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD ITSA) from April 2026. Rebecca has already worked with several Society members, taking them through their journey of becoming Making Tax Digital compliant.
Rebecca comes highly recommended by homeopathy colleagues.
“It has been fantastic. The initial training was well paced and all the questions I’ve asked have been answered.”
“As I embarked on a using cloud accounting system, I was very uncertain if I would be able to manage the complexity of the system without sustained support. Red Tag Admin has provided tutoring, advice and reassurance so very soon I felt confident about almost all the functions I need on a regular basis plus I know I can request additional support if I need it.”
“Incredibly helpful, unjudgmental and supportive. Rebecca dealt with my shame about having such a mess, so many accounts and a lot of confusion. Rebecca is systematic and calm, clear in her instruction, and creates a difference by giving out bite sized, manageable tasks with gentle accountability. Where there was heavy lifting that wouldn’t involve my learning, Rebecca took it on and sorted it so I could finally move forward rather than perseverate around the same small stuck circles. I have gained clarity, ease, a system I can use and trust and know that I still have support when I face a new task or have gotten in a muddle again!”
