Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT is compulsory for all VAT registered businesses, for returns starting on or after 1 April 2022. This means returns must be filed using MTD software and digital VAT records must be kept.
From 1 November, the old HMRC portal for filing quarterly or monthly VAT returns will be
switched off. Businesses that file annual returns will still be able to use their VAT online account until 15 May 2023. HMRC will be writing to businesses that have not yet signed up to MTD for VAT.
