Vat to match year end

Accounting
1

A question for the accountants on here:

Our year end is March 31st, we are registered for quarterly returns under MTD.

My next vat period ends in Jan & the return (payment) is due in March (latest), Which vat return month should we use keep things simple and minimise accounting workload?

TIA
Dave

It’s always easier to match the VAT quarter end to the accounting year end. You can change the VAT stagger date to 31st March by accessing your HMRC gateway account.
