Your Questions, Answered

Quick answers to help you file with confidence and stay compliant with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital rules.

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is the UK government’s initiative to modernise the tax process. It requires businesses to maintain digital records—whether using spreadsheets or full-featured bookkeeping software—and submit VAT returns to HMRC through MTD-compatible software like MTD Sheets. With MTD, all data is submitted via digital links, and we’re here to ensure a smooth, hassle-free transition.

If you're a VAT-registered business, complying with Making Tax Digital (MTD) is now a legal requirement—this includes those who voluntarily registered for VAT. Unfortunately, opting out isn't usually possible, except for limited reasons like age or disability, etc.

HMRC does not offer a free software. However, MTD-compliant bridging software, like MTD Sheets, is free for the first filing and submission credits can then onwards be purchased for as little as £0.49 each. MTD Sheets is HMRC-Recognised, ensuring you're on the right track with digital taxes.

MTD-compliant bridging software (like MTD Sheets) is the tool that helps businesses bridge the gap between their existing spreadsheets or non-MTD-compatible software and the requirements of Making Tax Digital. It transforms your data into the digital format HMRC loves and sends it straight to the tax party, making you the hero of tax compliance.

Spreadsheets are simple and less costly to operate, unlike full-scale bookkeeping software. You do not need specialised training to use them. MTD Sheets lets you continue using your existing spreadsheet template while staying compliant with HMRC's MTD rules. It's the best of both worlds!

Not at all! Spreadsheets, teamed up with MTD-compliant bridging software like MTD Sheets, are in it for the long haul. They offer flexibility while keeping up with MTD's digital record-keeping demands. It's a win-win situation!

No strict guidelines here. MTD Sheets picks up amounts from relevant cells however you calculate it. You may consider adding a summary section to your spreadsheet, listing the 9 boxes. This ensures a clear and confusion-free presentation. Feeling a bit unsure? No worries – we've developed a few templates for you to use or customise, providing additional guidance and convenience.

No, MTD Sheets software keeps it simple—only the necessary info (details of your business and the 9 boxes). However, make sure to keep the invoices and receipts for at least six years at your disposal, just in case HMRC wants to review.

Only the essentials! General business info and the 9 box amounts make the journey to HMRC. Your precious spreadsheet neither gets submitted nor stored anywhere; we're all about confidentiality.

MTD Sheets is the universal spreadsheet reader. We accept Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, Open Office, and Libre Office files. No file left behind!

Absolutely! MTD Sheets is your on-the-go companion, offering mobile compatibility. Submit your VAT return stylishly from your smartphone—tax compliance in the palm of your hand.

MTD Sheets works with all VAT Schemes (FRS, Groups, Partial Exemption, Capital Goods, Margin Schemes, Cash Accounting, Annual Scheme, Retail Schemes, Payments on Account, etc.). Just ensure the figures on your return are calculated correctly according to your scheme rules and are put in the correct boxes as per the rules for your VAT scheme (e.g. on the FRS, Box 6 is the Gross Sales (inc. VAT), and Box 1 is your FRS % multiplied by your box 6 figure – other boxes are normally zero).

Your data's in good hands—secure and certified! MTD Sheets software implements robust security measures to ensure the protection of your data. We are ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials certified - audited by a UK government-recognized external auditor, confirming that we exceed the information security management system requirements approved by the UK government.

No worries! MTD Sheets has your back. All your VAT history (including previously filed VAT returns, payments, and liabilities) are retrieved directly from HMRC regardless of which software you used before. For extra peace of mind, download any other data from your ex-software provider for your record—it's always good to have a backup.

At MTD Sheets, we offer a hassle-free refund option within 14 days for any unused submission credits you've purchased. If, by any chance, our software can't submit your VAT return, you may still get a refund for the credit you used. Check out our Refund Policy for more details.
