Easy MTD VAT is only compatible with VAT figures held in an Excel (xlsx, xlsm, xls), text or csv file. However, if your spreadsheet software can save VAT figures to one of these formats, you can use Easy MTD VAT to submit your VAT returns. This means you can continue to use any of the following spreasheet applications and still comply with HMRC's Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT:
- FreeOffice PlanMaker
- Google Sheets
- LibreOffice Calc
- OpenOffice Calc
- Sheetster
- Spread32
- ThinkFree
- Zoho Sheet
Saving to an Excel or csv file is normally achieved by selecting one of these formats from the list of file types presented in the Save As window of whatever spreadsheet application you use. Performing this process retains the digital link required by HMRC.
When saving from one of the spreadsheets listed above to an Excel or a csv file, certain functionality may be incompatible and data may be affected. It is therefore important to check that the VAT figures held in the Excel or csv file are correct prior to using with Easy MTD VAT.
