Hi I need to file my 1st vat return but have no idea how to do this?
Quickfile wouldnt let me register via an individual any other way around this please?

Thanks

Hello @oneillms

Are you a sole trader?
Are you registered for MTD VAT?

For VAT you always link your HMRC account as an “organization” even if you’re a sole trader. The “individual” thing I believe is to do with the forthcoming MTD for Self Assessment, not VAT.
