What is Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT?

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT is an HMRC initiative requiring VAT-registered businesses to keep digital VAT records and submit VAT returns using MTD-compatible software. It became mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses from April 2022, unless exempt.

Who must follow the MTD for VAT rules?

All VAT-registered businesses must comply with MTD rules, regardless of turnover, unless they have an exemption approved by HMRC. New VAT-registered businesses are automatically enrolled. Those below the VAT threshold may opt in voluntarily.

What are the requirements for MTD-compatible VAT filing?

Businesses must keep VAT records digitally using MTD-compatible software, submit VAT returns electronically via an API, maintain digital links between all data sources to avoid manual entry, and preserve VAT records for at least six years.

How do I sign up for Making Tax Digital for VAT?

HMRC automatically signs up VAT-registered businesses for MTD unless exempt. To file VAT returns under MTD, you’ll need a Government Gateway account and VAT registration number. Agents must use an Agent Services Account (ASA) to manage clients’ VAT returns.

What support is available if I’m struggling with MTD for VAT?

HMRC offers an Extra Support Service for vulnerable taxpayers. You can contact the VAT helpline (0300 200 3700) or visit GOV.UK for guidance. Rural businesses may qualify for gigabit broadband vouchers. Local IT support, accounting professionals, and online tutorials can also help.
