Submitting a VAT100 Tax Return Online

Important:

Beginning April 8, 2021, HMRC no longer accepts non-MTD VAT submissions. Refer to Making Tax Digital for VAT for the complete information of U.K.’s VAT direct filing solution.

Online submission of the VAT100 tax return to His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) using NetSuite is a feature provided by the International Tax Reports SuiteApp.

Before generating a VAT100 tax report in NetSuite, be sure to check the preferences on your Tax Filing Setup page. For information, see Setting Up Tax Filing for United Kingdom.

Note:

Before submitting the VAT100 Tax Return online, you need to perform the following steps to update the URL in the system.

To update the URL:

Go to Reports > VAT/GST > Tax Reports (International).
On the Tax Reports (International) page, click Setup and select Tax Filing.
On the Tax Filing Setup window, click Save.

The Submit Online option sends the VAT100 form directly to HMRC from NetSuite. The Submit Online button is enabled when all of the following conditions are true:

The United Kingdom VAT100 report for the selected period has not yet been successfully submitted.
The tax period type you selected on the Tax Filing Setup page matches the VAT100 tax period on the VAT form.

Example:

If Reporting Period is By Quarter in the Tax Filing Setup page, then on the VAT100 form, the tax period selected should be a quarter and not a three-month range (for example, select Q3 2011 to Q3 2011 instead of July 2011 to September 2011).

Important:

You should review all the values in the report prior to submission. You can visit the HMRC online portal for more information about filling in your VAT form.

When you use NetSuite to submit your United Kingdom VAT100 to HMRC:

An email notification is sent by HMRC to inform you whether the submission was a success or failure. You will only receive an email notification if you have registered your email address for VAT online services or VAT messages.
A submission history is saved, and can be viewed on the System Notes tab of the VAT form. For information, see Viewing the VAT100 Submission History and Errors in your VAT100 Submission.
Successfully submitted lines are stored in PDF format in your NetSuite File Cabinet. To view the PDF of a submitted VAT100 return, see Viewing the Submitted VAT100 in the File Cabinet.
A submission receipt reference number is displayed on the VAT Online Submitted Periods record and in the notification email sent to you by HMRC upon acceptance of your VAT100.

Note:

Submitted lines with errors can be corrected, but you cannot use NetSuite to resubmit them for the same tax period. Instead, you must include those corrected line items in your submission for the next tax period. Consult the HMRC Web site for guidelines on how to correct mistakes in your VAT100 submission.
