Exporting accounts data to tax software packages List of Tax Packages supported

Ease of use
Sending data is very easy (you just have to choose the Send To Tax Package command or button) and is far quicker than typing the numbers into your tax package again.

Categories of data
You can choose to transmit some or all of the following categories of data:

It is also possible to transmit disallowable expenses, adjustments and capital allowances from Excel, but the templates supplied with VT Final Accounts are not pre-formatted with this information.

All categories of data can in fact be transmitted from any Excel workbook, and not just from workbooks based on the VT templates.

Standard Name Format
Standard Name Format is a vendor and tax year independent method of transmitting accounts data to tax software packages. Standard Name Format has been developed and promoted by VT Software in conjunction with tax software vendors.

Tax packages supported
Data can be transmitted to the tax packages listed below. If you telephone the supplier, we would be grateful if you would mention VT Software's name.

If your package is not listed below, ask the vendor to implement a Standard Name Format import facility. The vendor can find full technical details on the web at www.vtsoftware.co.uk/snf

Inexpensive packages

All of the above packages have a Standard Name Format import facility    

Other packages (supported by VT Final Accounts only)

All of the above packages use proprietary import methods, each of which has been specifically implemented by VT Software. Please note that these methods are not available in VT Transaction+.

Recommendation

VT Software particularly recommends the use of Tax Assistant from Drummohr Technology. Tax Assistant is comprehensive (personal, partnership and company tax returns) and is reasonable value for money.
