Closing vat periods

How do I close each vat period as I don’t use MTD as yet. It has accumulated the full year. I have been doing the returns on spreadsheets so know that the vat returns each qtr are correct

Hi,

You should be able to generate and save them without submitting. Make sure that you havent enabled online filing for this to work

No I haven’t enabled on line filing. Should I have created a new vat file for each qtr

Hi @Mary123,

Yes this is probably the best way to do it - to make sure that when you do sign up for MTD it is pulling in just the stuff you need it to

When I create file it gives the whole year and it says submit return. What happens if I click it

As long as you haven’t set up to file your return electronically then it will just save it :slight_smile: you should be able to alter the date ranges too

Done it and it balances. Thank you so much
