Neetrix is fully recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital (MTD) and gives finance teams everything needed to keep digital VAT records and submit returns seamlessly.
Digital VAT Workflow
Since 1 April 2019, VAT registered businesses with turnover above £85,000 must keep digital VAT records and submit returns through compatible software. HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) programme encourages a seamless, accurate flow of information between businesses and HMRC systems.
Neetrix is fully compliant and recognised by HMRC for processing and submitting VAT returns. You can register with HMRC today and submit returns through Neetrix ahead of your deadline to build confidence in the new workflow.
Need a refresher?
VAT returns made after 1 April 2019 must use MTD. Returns covering periods ending before that date can still be submitted traditionally, but Neetrix lets you practise the MTD process early.
Neetrix captures every VAT-relevant invoice, receipt, and adjustment as part of daily operations, removing the need for manual re-entry or spreadsheet uploads.
Centralised VAT data
Sales, purchases, and adjustments stay in sync across departments automatically.
Digital audit trail
Every submission includes the supporting records HMRC expects under MTD guidance.
Quick VAT checkups
Review obligations, payments, and submissions in one place before you file.
Straight answers based on conversations with HMRC and the most common questions from Neetrix users.
From 1 April 2019, but only for VAT returns submitted after that date. Returns covering periods before 1 April can still be sent through traditional channels. We recommend filing via Neetrix early so the workflow is familiar ahead of your first mandated submission.
No. MTD submissions send the same summary values previously submitted via paper or the HMRC web portal. HMRC does not ingest your full transaction history when you file a VAT return.
There are a few key steps:
Using HMRC-recognised software for submission is essential but only part of compliance. MTD also requires digital record keeping for invoices and receipts and prohibits manually re-keying figures from other systems. Neetrix handles the digital audit trail for you.
If you generate VAT invoices or receipts outside Neetrix, HMRC requires those records to be imported digitally—manual re-keying is not permitted under MTD. Because Neetrix centralises CRM, sales, accounting, and back-office operations, your VAT records stay digital by design.
Still relying on spreadsheets or standalone tools? Our solutions team can show you how to retire duplicate data entry and become compliant without extra workload.
