VT Software provides a free Digital record sheet for keeping digital records as part of MTD (Making Tax Digital) requirements.
This sheet is intended for individuals who want to keep their records on a spreadsheet.
Accountants/agents who have a VT licence, who have MTD clients without a VT licence, can ask their clients to enter transactions on this sheet and send it to them each quarter. The accountant/agent will be able to generate and submit a quarterly update from the sheet.

If you are VAT registered, VAT returns can also be generated from the same set of records.

The VAT return can be submitted by selecting VAT Return > Submit.
