How Do I Submit My VAT Return To HMRC Using GoSimpleVAT?

The instructions below are based on the assumption that you have first:

 

1. Registered with HMRC for the new MTD for VAT system

2. Connected GoSimpleVAT to the HMRC systems

1. From the dashboard click the 'VAT return submissions due' button.
