The latest version of our MTD for VAT Excel template is now available. We have updated this as follows:
Check your returns to avoid penalties
During the soft-landing period, HMRC has said they will apply a light-touch approach to record-keeping penalties in the first year of MTD for VAT where businesses have made a genuine effort to comply with their obligations. Under these circumstances, we consider now is an ideal time for you to review prior returns and, if necessary, make any corrections via the normal HMRC methods, e.g. via a subsequent VAT return or by voluntary disclosure.
For businesses submitting VAT returns that include international transactions, particularly with the other EC Member States, it is important to recognise that procedures for such transactions vary according to whether the supplies are for good or services. Appropriate care must be taken when recording these transactions on VAT returns, and we recommend that our customers check any international transactions have been dealt with correctly on recently submitted VAT returns.
