Submit VAT returns

Once you've imported / uploaded the VAT date, you're ready to submit to HMRC. Make sure that you've connected your agent account to HMRC and set up your online filing passwords as described inVAT setup.

  1. From the Clients menu, select Clients list.
  2. Change the client list view to either Active clients or a custom view that includes all relevant clients.

    3. If any of the entries are greyed out and you cannot select them, this is a restricted item — the parent client record has been set to Private and you do not have access. If you believe this is a mistake, contact your IRIS Elements administrator. Users who have Administrator level permissions are able to view all public and private client records, even those where they are not named as assigned users.

  3. On theVATtab, select the required period.

    The return is populated with the VAT figures you previously imported or uploaded.

  4. Check the figures, then select Submit. The return is submitted to HMRC.
  5. Once you've submitted your VAT return, you can view, download or print a submission receipt by selectingView submission receipt.
