Free MTD for VAT software and why you shouldn't use it

• Free sometimes means there's an ulterior motive. Some developers offer free MTD for VAT software in order to upsell enhancements or other products (like full accounting software) and services.
• If MTD for VAT software is free, the developer may not have the financial resource and staff to provide you with support when things go wrong or when you can't figure out how to do something yourself. Saving money on free software will be massively outweighed by a HMRC late submission fine as a result of being unable to get your MTD for VAT solution to work.
• Free MTD for VAT software may mean supporting assets such as help, a user guide and a knowledge base are lacking or non-existent.
• HMRC sometimes make changes to their MTD for VAT system meaning associated solutions need to be updated. A developer may not have the inclination or financial resource to perform essential updates to an MTD for VAT solution that generates no income for them.
• Developers offering a free solution may be here today but gone tomorrow. Without an income it is likely a developer and the MTD for VAT solution they produce won't be around for long. How long would your business survive if you offered your products or services for free?
• Stating an MTD for VAT solution is free doesn't always mean all functionality is free. Certain developers claim their software is free to use but in reality you only get to view your HMRC VAT data and must make payment when you submit a VAT return.
