CLA Warns UK Gov Over Digital Tax and Lack of Fast Rural Broadband

Quote
The Country Land and Business Association, which represents land owners and rural businesses in England and Wales, has warned that the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) initiative to make tax digital could “throw the rural economy into chaos” due to the on-going lack of fast and reliable broadband.

At present around 91% of the United Kingdom can already access a fixed line superfast broadband (24Mbps+) connection and this is widely expected to reach 97-98% by 2019, while the proposed 10Mbps Universal Service Obligation (USO) will aim to fill in the gaps from 2020 onwards.

However the plans to digitise all tax-related accounting are due to be phased in across the United Kingdom from 2018 onwards and by that point universal coverage may not yet have been achieved, although there is always the option of getting an inferior Satellite connection. Mobile Broadband may be another solution, but coverage can be very patchy.
