I've just had an email from HRMC explaining that all VAT returns need to be made through software that is compatible with their "Making Tax Digital" (MTD) system, which I do not have - I use a simple spreadsheet as my turnover doesn't justify buying software and installing it.
I wondered if there are others in the same position and, if so, how they intend to deal with it.
At the moment, my inclination is to cancel my registration; it will cost me money because I won't be able to reclaim VAT on photo equipment, etc., but it will eliminate the hassle of changing over to a new system.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks.
