VAT Making Tax Digital is about keeping VAT records digitally and using compatible processes to prepare VAT return information.
What MTD usually means in practice
You need organised digital records for:
- sales invoices
- purchase invoices and receipts
- VAT rates
- adjustments
- VAT return totals
- evidence for review
Review before submission
Do not rely on automation without checking. Confirm sales, expenses, VAT treatment and any adjustments before submitting anything to HMRC.
Records LedgerlyPro helps organise
- Invoices
- Expenses
- receipt uploads
- Controlled Statement Import for supported CSV/Excel files
- VAT summaries
- accountant review packs
For more detail, read the MTD bookkeeping software guide.
