Membership Software and Making Tax Digital (MTD) and who does it apply to?

Adding to the list of ‘things that Coacha helps with’ are accounts and taxes. Yes, taxes!

Now this may not apply to all sports clubs as we know that many of our user base are non-profit and there are some exemptions to organisations who need to pay VAT. But for those clubs who are eligible to pay VAT, or those approaching the threshold, you’ll want to carry on reading.

What is MTD

HMRC are launching a new initiative called Making Tax Digital from April 1st 2019. This initiative requires organisations who earn over the tax threshold (£85,000) to use software to record and submit VAT returns.

As part of MTD there are a few requirements which include financial information being automatically logged into your digital tax account and submitting a minimum of once per quarter via an app that’s linked to your digital tax account.

How sports club management software can help

Using a piece of software that specifically helps with sports club management can do wonders for your sports club. It can save you time, money and stress. It’s an amazing way of keeping all of your club administration in one safe place.

If you use Coacha to manage your finances, you’ll be using Stripe. Coacha simply acts as an interface to set up your payments through Stripe in a simple way, whilst recording the statuses of all of your transactions. The beauty of setting your finances up through Coacha is that it’s incredibly simple to use and keep track of who’s paid what. Plus you get to manage all other aspects of your club management like registers, classes, GDPR, emergency information etc.

So, at the moment users will set their finances up within Coacha and then the finances will appear in their Stripe accounts on the chosen payment date. Perfect. But how do those finances get into your digital tax account?

Coacha > Stripe > Missing Link > Digital Tax Account

We think that the best thing you could do is sign up to a piece of accounting software. This type of software will connect to your Stripe account. Then when your Stripe account receives payments, they will automatically filter into the accounting software and record them without you having to manually input anything. Then you (or your accountant) can easily make accurate VAT submissions into your Digital Tax Account.

Coacha > Stripe > Accounting Software > Digital Tax Account

Is there a piece of software that does it all.

We’ve done our research and so far, we can’t find one single piece of software which allows club management, collection of finances and accountancy. These 3 types of software are totally unique in their own respects. However, they integrate with each other incredibly well.

We imagine it would be very complicated (not to mention expensive) to develop software that covered all 3 of these specialities.

What types of accounting software is out there?

The HMRC have published a list of software suppliers that specialise in tax which you can find here. However, one of the most popular and well-reviewed pieces of software that we’re aware of is Xero. If you have an accountant, they will more than likely be able to advise you on which route to take. Most software will offer free trials too, so you can get a feel for the interface and usability before you commit.

Coacha has saved us so much time and improved our interaction with new and current customers. Since we started using Coacha the system has been upgraded so many times with fantastic new features. The customer service is fantastic, and we wouldn't be without the system!

Clare Company Director in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Coacha is a must for our gym. Very pleased. Recommend Coacha to all gym owners. Easy to use and navigate. Manages all our CRM needs. Great team ready and willing to support.

Jon Owner Head Coach in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Fantastic software for all your administrative needs. The fact that all admin tasks are on one platform - previously we had accounting software, invoicing applications, google documents for storing athlete information and registers. Coacha allows you to fulfil all of your usual administrative tasks in one place and allows athletes/parents to view the information as easily as staff.

Alex Program Director in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

I wouldn’t use anything else you can use every feature on it & it’s so easy to work. If it wasn’t for this App, I would be doing hours & hours of admin. So, I’m thankful to have found this app!

Fantastic customer service and is a fab asset to our club. Easy to use, saves me time and stress! It also feels safe storing medical and co tact details.

Laura Lead director in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Fantastic Software for Dance Schools! Monthly subscriptions have been a game changer for our business, far less admin time required compared to previous system and the reports have been really useful. Looking forward to working with the system further to develop our dance school!

Arlene Studio Owner & Administrator in UK Health, Wellness & Fitness - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Excellent, affordable, clean. Coacha is very user-friendly, clean and professional with good customisation options. I don't think there's much that can be improved.

Ashton Director in UK Performing Arts - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Great support and easy to use system. Very happy so far. Has made administration so much easier than with our previous system (and something that I look forward to rather than dread!). The overall feel of the system is very 'clean', easy to sign onto, navigate and use
