What is Making Tax Digital for VAT?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT is a HMRC service designed to modernise how businesses manage and submit VAT. Under MTD for VAT rules, business records must be kept digitally and HMRC's online VAT submission service can no longer be used (unless you're exempt).
If you maintain your business records and calculate your VAT figures in Excel, Google Sheets, OpenOffice Calc or any other spreadsheet, or if you use accounting software that isn't compatible with MTD for VAT, you will need bridging software such as !Easy MTD to submit your VAT returns.
When Does It Start?
MTD for VAT was launched by HMRC in April 2019 and all existing and newly VAT registered businesses must use it (unless exempt).
How Do I Comply?
You must use MTD for VAT compliant software such as !Easy MTD to submit VAT returns to HMRC - making sure to digitally record and link your figures.
What Figures Do I Digitally Record and Link?
The 9 VAT figures that make up a VAT return must be recorded in a spreadsheet, text or CSV file, and must be digitally linked to the sales and expenses figures used to calculate them.
How Do I Get Going?
Start or continue recording your sales and expenses in a spreadsheet then download, install and configure !Easy MTD. You can then submit a VAT return to HMRC. No accounting software required!
