MTD for VAT roadmap

Making Tax Digital deadlines are the same as standard VAT returns, so you don’t have to change the dates that you usually file and pay your taxes.

If you are unsure of the date your first MTD return is due, check the filing deadline in the VAT account section on HMRC’s website or contact your accountant or bookkeeper if they file returns on your behalf.
