MTD became mandatory from April 2019 for most UK businesses with a VATable turnover above the VAT threshold.

From April 2022, this was extended to all VAT registered businesses, including those who are voluntarily VAT registered with a VATable turnover below the VAT threshold. Under MTD you submit your VAT Returns through your accounts software.
