FR Books is now listed as a recognised software supplier supporting Making Tax Digital for VAT. This means that any VAT returns you submit after 1st April 2019 will be fully MTD compliant.

After you have ran your VAT return and chosen to 'Save & Lock' it, the option to submit to HMRC will become available, as shown below:

If you choose to submit your VAT return directly to HMRC from within FR Books you will then be presented with the following screen:

From here you have three options:

Authorise MTD: Select this option if you are already registered for MTD and wish to authorise FR Booksto interact with HMRC on your behalf to submit your returns.

After clicking 'Authorise MTD' you will need to follow the instructions provided by HMRC to grant this permission.

After granting permission to FR Books you will be able to submit your MTD compliant VAT returns by clicking 'Submit To HMRC'. From here you will be prompted to enter your Government Gateway User ID and Password to complete your submission.

Continue Submission: Select this option if you are not yet registered for MTD and wish to submit a VAT return prior to the April 2019 MTD for VAT deadline.

You will then be prompted to enter your Government Gateway User ID and Password to complete your submission. If you do not already have these log in details for HMRC you will need to create an account, which can be done here: https://www.gov.uk/log-in-register-hmrc-online-services.

Sign Up To MTD Pilot: Select this option only if you wish to sign up for the MTD pilot scheme and submit MTD compliant VAT returns prior to the April 2019 deadline.

After clicking 'Sign Up To MTD Pilot' you will need to follow the instructions provided by HMRC to sign up to the pilot scheme.

After signing up and granting permission to FR Books you will be able to submit your MTD compliant VAT returns by clicking 'Submit To HMRC'. You will then be prompted to enter your Government Gateway User ID and Password to complete your submission.
