Prepare tax and payroll records from the books
Designed for Making Tax Digital for VAT and Income Tax, and for RTI payroll.
Live filing starts once HMRC approves the software.
VAT returns
Accountants prepare VAT returns from the ledger and review what makes up each figure.
MTD for Income Tax
Accountants working with sole traders and landlords keep quarterly work with the client’s books and review the periods HMRC expects.
Payroll and RTI preparation
Payroll staff prepare pay runs with PAYE, National Insurance and pensions, and a second person approves each run.
HMRC connection
Accountants use the business’s own Government Gateway sign-in to authorise tax access and review obligations.
Personal tax records
Practice staff keep a personal tax record for an individual and pull figures from that person’s business books and payroll.
Review the figures and the record
VAT returns use the ledger to work out the nine boxes. Quarterly self-employment updates use year-to-date figures from the books. Pay runs calculate PAYE and NI, and approved runs post to the ledger. RTI submissions are prepared and checked against HMRC’s schema.
VAT corrections and pay runs need second-person approval. Every submission has a record.
