What is Making Tax Digital For VAT?

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT is an HMRC service that replaces their online VAT submission interface to help ensure businesses get their VAT right.

If you use a spreadsheet to keep your business records, or accounting software that is incompatible with MTD for VAT, bridging software, such as Easy MTD VAT, must be used to submit your VAT returns to HMRC.

What is Easy MTD VAT?

Easy MTD VAT is a super simple Windows application that imports VAT figures held in an Excel spreadsheet or CSV file then submits them to HMRC in compliance with Making Tax Digital for VAT. The software can also be used to view VAT obligations, liabilities and payments held by HMRC - making it a one-stop-shop for submitting returns and managing VAT.

VAT obligations, liabilities and payments can be viewed for free and submitting a VAT return costs as little as £0.99.
