With a few button clicks, boxes from the VAT Return can be mapped to your spreadsheet and imported into the VAT data screens so you can start the process of completing your VAT Return.

Supporting documentation can be added to a VAT Return via our 'Attachments' page. Please note that the documentation added is for your reference purposes only and will not be sent to HMRC with your VAT Return.
