A variety of products at different price points are available (including some that are free), and some can be used with a spreadsheet for those who prefer not to make the move to a fuller software product.</p><p> </p><p>Businesses will need to join the new service in time to send HMRC their VAT return information before their first deadline for a return period which starts after 1 April. For the majority who file quarterly that will be by 7 August 2019 at the earliest. HMRC is continuing to send letters to all businesses in scope, raising their awareness and inviting them to join early so that they can test the service before mandation.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 18/12/2018 14:45:14 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
