Choose Xero Software for Making Tax Digital
Now Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT is here, business owners above the VAT threshold of £85k need to file VAT returns online using HMRC-recognised MTD software.
What is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) means you are no longer able to keep and submit manual VAT records and returns. Instead, HMRC will only accept VAT returns sent using software that supports Making Tax Digital for VAT, like Xero.
The use of this technology is mandatory so it’s a good idea to upgrade your software, or migrate your accounts, before the end of your next VAT period.
Once you're up and running, you should find it far easier to submit returns using online MTD software.
