Learn about the functionality of Easy MTD.
ViewEasy MTD continues to provide the same VAT functionality as Easy MTD VAT but will also allow you to comply with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.
A simple update is all that is required to get up and running.
Same developers, same account, same settings, same tokens, same great service.
Making Tax Digital for VAT is a HMRC service that was introduced in April 2019 to help ensure businesses get their VAT right. Under the new rules, business figures need to be kept digitally and HMRC's online VAT submission interface can no longer be used.
If you record your business figures in Excel, Google Sheets, OpenOffice Calc or any other spreadsheet, or you use accounting software that is incompatible with Making Tax Digital for VAT, bridging software, such as Easy MTD, must be used to submit VAT returns to HMRC.
Easy MTD is a HMRC-recognised Windows application for businesses and agents. It enables users to view obligations, liabilities, payments and penalties for any number of businesses, and submit VAT returns to HMRC in compliance with Making Tax Digital for VAT.
VAT figures held in an Excel (xlsx, xls, xlsm), text (txt) or comma-separated values (csv) file can be imported then submitted, meaning any business that uses a spreadsheet or non-compliant accounting software can use Easy MTD as a bridging solution. If you need to submit a nil/zero VAT return you don't even need a figures file - you just tick a checkbox!
VAT obligations, liabilities, payments and penalties can be viewed for free and submitting a VAT return costs from as little as £2+VAT.
Submit VAT returns digitally to HMRC and view VAT obligations, liabilities and payments from a single, intuitive interface.
Whether you need to submit a VAT return for your own business, or you're an agent who needs to submit for one or more clients, Easy MTD VAT is the perfect solution.
Easy MTD submits VAT figures contained in an Excel (xlsx, xls, xlsm), text (txt) or comma-separated values (csv) file.
If your spreadsheet or accounting software can export to an Excel (xlsx, xls, xlsm), text (txt) or comma-separated values (csv) file, Easy MTD can be used to submit your VAT returns.
As long as your Excel (xlsx, xls, xlsm), text (txt) or comma-separated values (csv) file contains the VAT figures required by HMRC, you can use Easy MTD to submit your VAT return.
There is no need to change the way you record your business figures. All Easy MTD needs are the VAT figures in an Excel (xlsx, xls, xlsm), text (txt) or comma-separated values (csv) file.
If necessary, your VAT figures are correctly rounded, converted to whole numbers, calculated or assumed to be zero so they conform with HMRC rules.
Easy MTD is compliant with HMRC's Making Tax Digital for VAT service and is listed on the HMRC "Find Software" web page.
View your obligations, liabilities and payments for free, and buy submission tokens from as little as £2+VAT to submit VAT returns digitally to HMRC.
