Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT becomes mandatory from 1 April 2019. From their first full VAT period starting on or after this date, VAT registered businesses with a taxable turnover above the VAT threshold must submit their VAT Returns through commercial software. They will no longer be able to submit VAT Returns via the Government Gateway.

The latest versions of Line 500, Sage ERP 1000 and Enterprise Management will be MTD ready. A list of compliant versions is shown below. We recommend contacting Customer Services to identify which version you're on and understand the work associated with upgrading to a compatible version.
