Submitting MTD VAT Returns to HMRC

Note:

This topic is for NetSuite accounts that use the Tax Reports (International) page to generate the United Kingdom VAT100 Return. If you are using the Country Tax Report page, see Making Tax Digital.

The Making Tax Digital for VAT feature enables online submission of United Kingdom VAT100 Return to HMRC.

To submit a VAT100 Return form, proceed with the following steps. If you are submitting a CSV file, go to Submitting an MTD VAT Return in a CSV File.

To submit a United Kingdom VAT100 Return:

  1. Ensure that MTD feature is enabled. See MTD for VAT Setup.

  2. Go to Reports > VAT/GST > Tax Reports (International).

  3. If you are using a OneWorld account, select the United Kingdom VAT-registered subsidiary.

  4. In the Country Form field, select United Kingdom.

  5. Choose the tax period and click Refresh to generate the report.

  6. Review all the values in the VAT report. To enter an adjustment, click Adjust Return.

  7. Click Submit Online to proceed with the online submission.

    If you are submitting the VAT100 Return in a CSV file, go to Submitting an MTD VAT Return in a CSV File.

    Note:

    You do not need to flag tax periods as reported in U.K. VAT100. MTD automatically marks reported tax periods as submitted. If you generate a VAT100 return for a submitted tax period, you will see a Submitted stamp on the VAT form and you will not be able to submit the report to HMRC.

  8. On the popup window, check the Final and Correct box to finalize the VAT Return.

  9. Click Submit to confirm the online submission of the United Kingdom VAT100 Return to HMRC. An In Queue stamp will appear on your VAT form while your submission is in process. Otherwise, click Cancel to go back to the VAT report.

  10. You will be redirected to the HMRC website. Click Continue to grant authority to NetSuite and connect your account to HMRC. If you are not redirected to the HMRC website after clicking Submit, check your browser settings and ensure that popups coming from NetSuite are not blocked.

  11. On the HMRC Sign in page, enter your User ID and Password and click Sign In.

  12. Click Grant Authority to allow NetSuite to interact with HMRC on your behalf and continue with the MTD VAT100 submission.

    Logging in HMRC is done only once at every session. Logging out of NetSuite ends the connection with HMRC.

  13. The Online Filing page will confirm your online submission. Check your email for the result of your VAT100 Return submission to HMRC.

    If the submission is successful, a confirmation receipt will be sent to your email with submission details and a link to your submitted Return. A Submitted stamp will also appear on the VAT form of the submitted tax period.

    If the submission failed, an error report will be sent to your email. Read the details of the error message on the MTD System Notes and check it against the error scenarios listed on the help topic, Handling MTD VAT Return Submission Errors.

All MTD VAT submissions are logged in MTD System Notes. To view your online submission requests and status, see Viewing the MTD VAT Return Submission History.

Important:

You cannot resubmit the VAT100 Return for the same period. Submitted tax periods are marked with a Submitted stamp on the VAT form. If you need to correct mistakes in your VAT100, check the HMRC website for guidelines on correcting mistakes for submitted VAT reports.

Note:

Submission header information is available in the United Kingdom Making Tax Digital (MTD) feature to comply with HMRC regulations to prevent fraud. For more information, see Sending of MTD Anti-Fraud Headers.
