HMRC closes old VAT return filing portal as MTD filings become compulsory

31 May 2023

During May 2023, HMRC closed its manual VAT return submission portal which was used by businesses to manually input VAT return figures, which now means that all VAT returns must be submitted via a certified Making Tax Digital (MTD) compliant software.

MTD was launched back in 2019 and required VAT registered businesses to use special software to submit VAT return figures directly to the HMRC electronically. 

Fiscal Solutions has its very own HMRC approved MTD compliant bridging solution, which is easy to use, competitively priced and enables businesses to meet the demands of MTD in the UK. If you would like to find out more about this new system, please get in touch here.
