Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT & VAT Software

Making Tax Digital rules mean VAT-registered businesses must keep digital records and submit VAT Returns using compatible software.

At Farrelly & Co, we help businesses set up practical MTD-friendly bookkeeping systems using software such as Xero or Sage – making VAT easier to manage , more accurate and less stressful each quarter.

If you already use accounting software, we can review your setup, tidy workflows and help improve reporting and day-to-day processes.

VAT Return FAQs

Do I need to submit a VAT Return if I have no VAT due?

Usually, yes. If you’re VAT registered, you normally still need to submit a VAT Return even if there’s no VAT to pay or reclaim for the period (a nil return).

When is my VAT Return due?

For most businesses, the online filing deadline is one calendar month and 7 days after your VAT period ends. This is typically the payment deadline too.

Don’t worry – we keep track of deadlines and send reminders so nothing sneaks up on you.

Do I need software to file VAT Returns?

Yes. Under Making Tax Digital (MTD) rules, VAT Returns must be submitted using compatible software. such as Xero or Sage.

If full cloud accounting software isn’t the right fit for your business, there are also simpler and lower-cost options available to support spreadsheet based records.

We’ll help you choose a setup that works for your business, budget and reporting needs – without overcomplicating things.
