You can submit your VAT return directly to HMRC through the app in just a few minutes. Before you start, you must connect your account to HMRC. If you have not set up this link yet, you can follow our step-by-step connection guide to get started.
Once your account is linked, follow the two stages below to check your figures and file your return.
⚠️ Important: The app currently supports the standard VAT accounting scheme only.
Step 1: Review your upcoming VAT return
It is always a good idea to double-check your figures before sending them to HMRC.
Open the app and go to the Tax tab.
Tap VAT to view your open VAT periods.
Tap on the relevant VAT period to open your 9-box VAT return summary.
Tap on any of the nine boxes to review the individual transactions and the tax calculations included in that total.
Tap on any specific transaction if you need to amend its details.
Step 2: File your VAT return with HMRC
Once you are happy that your transactions are accurate, you can submit the form.
Go to your VAT return summary and tap Submit to HMRC.
Tap Prepare to submit VAT return. We will save a secure snapshot of your data to get it ready for filing.
Tick the declaration box to confirm that the data in your return is true and complete. This declaration is a legal requirement from HMRC.
Tap Submit this VAT return.
We will immediately show you a confirmation screen once your return is successfully filed. This will display your official submission receipt number, alongside the final total you either owe or can claim back.
