Hi @lexion780tt

You will need to enrol with HMRC for the moment. I would imagine this will change come April, but for the moment you need to enrol.

hi

when you say enrol do you mean sign up for mdt pilot scheme?

Yes. Before the full release of MTD VAT, you need to opt in.

hi

I have opted to join the mdt pilot and now on my hmrc login it says i have opted for income tax reporting software but quick file still says im not authorized

Currently we don’t offer income tax reporting through MTD (this will come in time as HMRC releases it).

When did you join the MTD VAT pilot? It can take around 72 hours before it’s active.
