Bulk VAT submissions
When you are ready to submit the VAT return for more than one of your clients:
-
Go to VAT > MTD Clients.
-
Select each client you wish to include.
-
Select Prepare Returns X of 20.
You can select a maximum of 20 clients for a single submission.
-
You will then be asked to review each VAT summary per client. At the bottom of each VAT summary, you will see Skip and Approve options. Selecting either will move you onto the next return. You can review and change this selection later, before submitting the bulk VAT returns.
Skip: This VAT return will not be included in the final bulk submission.
Approve: This VAT return will be included in the final bulk submission.
-
The record will automatically be skipped if you select the single arrow forward navigation button, which will move you to the next VAT return.
-
If you select the double arrow forward navigation button then all following VAT returns will be set as Skipped.
If you navigate back to previously viewed VAT returns you will see if that particular VAT return has been marked as Skipped or Approved. You can change your selection on this screen if you wish to.
-
Once you have reviewed all selected VAT returns, the submission summary will display.
-
You can change the selection of a particular VAT return. Select the status for the client and you will be navigated back to the review screen.
-
Once you are happy with which VAT returns you wish to submit, select I confirm that my clients have received and approved a copy of these VAT returns and those are complete and accurate.
-
Select Submit to HMRC.
-
You will be shown a summary of the VAT returns submitted. Select Finish to complete.
Resubmitting failed VAT returns
If you wish to resubmit VAT returns that had previously failed, you would need to follow the same steps as above for those clients. When you come to submit the VAT returns, the final button will say Resubmit to HMRC.
