Making Tax Digital

The rollout of the next phase of Making Tax Digital for VAT is fast approaching, this takes effect from 1 April 2022. From that date all VAT Registered businesses with a turnover below £85,000 will also be required to submit their VAT Returns electronically under Making Tax Digital for VAT.

This means that if you are a VAT Registered business with turnover below £85,000 your VAT Returns for periods starting on or after 1 April 2022 must be filed electronically using existing compatible software such as Sage, Xero or Quickbooks, or by using a spreadsheet and additional bridging software. You will no longer be able to submit your VAT Returns using the old method and you must register to submit returns under Making Tax Digital for VAT before 1 April 2022. If you're not sure whether you comply, please speak to your accountant as soon as possible.
