Why Making Tax Digital changed VAT filing
Under Making Tax Digital for VAT, businesses must keep digital VAT records and submit returns through compatible software. Typing figures into the old HMRC online form is no longer the route for most VAT-registered businesses.
This service is that compatible software. It connects to HMRC, pulls your obligations, lets you prepare your return and submits it — so you meet the MTD requirement without buying a heavyweight accounting package.
- MTD requires digital records and compatible software
- This service connects directly to HMRC
- Meets the requirement without a full accounting suite
Boxes 1–9
File a complete VAT return directly to HMRC
MTD
Across any number of VAT registrations you connect.
Everything about your VAT in one view
Beyond filing, the service keeps your VAT picture together: your upcoming obligations and deadlines, your past returns, your liabilities, your payments and any penalties. Instead of hunting across HMRC’s website, it is all on one dashboard.
You can connect more than one VAT number, which is useful if you run multiple businesses, and optionally feed your figures in from a Google Sheet so quarter-end is a review rather than a re-entry.
- Obligations, returns, liabilities and payments together
- Connect multiple VAT registrations
- Optional Google Sheets data source

FAQ
HMRC VAT filing questions
Do I have to use software to file VAT now?
For most VAT-registered businesses, yes. Making Tax Digital for VAT requires digital records and submission through compatible software rather than HMRC’s old online form. This service is that software, connected directly to HMRC.
Can I file for more than one VAT number?
Yes. You can connect and manage any number of UK VAT registrations from a single account — helpful if you run more than one business.
Do I have to type in my figures every quarter?
You can, or you can pull your figures from a Google Sheet as an optional data source, so quarter-end becomes a review rather than a re-entry.
Does it show my payments and penalties?
Yes. Alongside filing, you can view your VAT obligations, past returns, liabilities, payments and any penalties on one dashboard, so your whole VAT position is in one place.
What if I am not VAT registered yet?
You will need a VAT number before you can file. We offer VAT Registration Assistance as a separate service to handle your registration with HMRC first.
