Key Points

As of 1st April 2019 VAT-Registered business, with a taxable turnover above the VAT threshold of £85,000, must keep digital VAT records and submit their VAT returns using MTD-compatible software.

A small minority of businesses have been given more time to comply. You must speak to your accountant or contact HMRC for advice if you are unsure if and when you are required to comply with MTD.

Businesses who join MTD must keep digital accounts and file their returns directly from that software.

Eligible businesses have to file under MTD for their first VAT period starting on or after 1st April 2019.

Please be aware that the deadlines for filing VAT returns and making payments are not changing.
