    MTD Making Tax Digital VAT

    Hi there

    I need to register for VAT online. Had a look but coudln't find other posts, but this nice article

    What Making Tax Digital means for contractors: now, and the next phase

    Anyway, I'm sharing the one I thought of choosing, £19.50 per year +VAT

    123 Sheets | Making Tax Digital | Bridging Software for Excel | Sage | Quickbooks | VAT MTD Excel Software

    This one is similar

    123 Sheets | Making Tax Digital | Bridging Software for Excel | Sage | Quickbooks | VAT MTD Excel Software


    HMRC have a full list available

    Find software for Making Tax Digital for VAT - Find software for Making Tax Digital - GOV.UK

    Was just wondering what others decided to do? My accountant doesn't offer this VAT MTD service.

    Could you not argue your accountant is no longer fit for purpose then and it's time to find a new one? It could be a really good move for you if you move to a Freeagent one as well. Might be a lower prices, better service, award winning portal plus MTD VAT. Ticks all boxes rather than staying with someone that isn't offering the full service you need?

      I would strongly recommend finding an accountant that offers this service for you.

      Does your accountant offer an all inclusive service for all other requirements too?

        There are other cheaper/free bridging "software" providers mentioned here.

          Sack 'em....

          Unless they are <£50 per month and provide a good service otherwise. In that case talk to them, and then sack 'em.

            Local traditional accountant? If they don't offer the basic service have a word.

              Many thanks for your reply.

              My accountant referred me to their sister company that handles VAT, so while they don't have capacity to do, they did offer something. But you're right, I'd have preferred it was all done in one place.

                Many thanks for your reply. I had a look through that thread. There was this one, GitHub - kavina-systems/MTD: HMRC MTD VAT bridging / soft landing software but I couldn't get it to work when I tried. Looks like I may try 123 Sheets for the moment...

                    You may wish to look at this software (it has been developed by a forum member) and it works well, we have tried the software: XLVAT | MTD VAT filer for Excel... and anything else that can export an Excel file
