Preparing and Submitting a Digital Tax Return (MTD)

Overview  

This video covers the selecting of data ready to submit your VAT Return and then the process of submitting your VAT Return using Making Tax Digital (MTD). There are instruction below the video.

HMRC - New Numbering System 

Please be aware HMRC have started migrating customers to a new numbering system for the Period Keys they use. Presently this can mean that you will see two of the same period in your Obligations dialog as Khaos Control will have received earlier versions of period keys for the same period which has now been given a new number:
One in the form NNNN and one in the form NNAA, e.g.

1234 (OLD FORMAT)
12AZ (NEW FORMAT)

If you do encounter two obligations for the same period, you should always select the period which is in the form NNAA otherwise you will encounter a “Invalid Period Key” error returned from HMRC.



Steps 

  1. Go to [System Setup | System Values | General].
  2. Ensure that your VAT number is correct.
