	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2019 answer text <p>Mandatory online filing for VAT returns was introduced in 2012 and some 98% of VAT returns are already received online. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is committed to ensuring businesses can successfully transition to Making Tax Digital (MTD) – which also requires use of digital tools for record keeping. HMRC has been running an extensive pilot to test the service, including the support that has been developed to help businesses transition, and ensure it is designed in the light of business and agent experience. HMRC is closely monitoring progress in the pilot, evaluating the number of sign-ups, submissions, the customer service offering and other technical elements ahead of the service being mandated for periods starting on or after 1 April. They are also tracking levels of awareness and the experience of businesses in the pilot.</p><p> </p><p>This monitoring will continue after mandation when HMRC will be able to continue to assess how the service is operating at scale, and the impact on additional tax revenue.</p><p> </p><p>MTD will not be extended to other taxes or to those below the VAT threshold until the system is shown to be working.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 19/02/2019 16:52:15 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
