Sage VAT accounting software lets you set up a default VAT rate for each ledger account, so the correct rate is automatically selected when making transactions. Plus, it records all VAT accounting actions and activities digitally, so you can keep a digital paper trail.
When you use Sage Accounting software, all VAT actions and activities are recorded digitally, which is compliant with the Making Tax Digital Service. The Sage VAT online software then integrates with your wider banking and accounting, and even generates reports automatically. By connecting your bank account to Sage Accounting, you can instantly import financial data from your bank accounts into Sage VAT accounting software. This makes it easier to track your transactions, and it's a great way to save time by eliminating the need to enter data twice when doing your VAT returns online.

Thanks to Making Tax Digital, businesses can submit a VAT Return to HMRC every month. This makes things much easier. You will have to submit a final VAT Return if you cancel your VAT registration.
You will need to buy or acquire software that is compatible with HMRC's Making Tax Digital rules. Making Tax Digital for VAT became mandatory for most businesses in the UK in April 2019. From that point HMRC no longer provided online tools for digital submission of VAT Returns. Instead, submissions must be made through commercial software, like Sage Accounting.
Bridging Software helps make sense of more complicated VAT arrangements by taking your spreadsheets and making them comply with HMRC’s new Making Tax Digital rules.
You need to register for VAT online if your turnover is greater than £85k per year. Accounting supports the most common VAT schemes - Standard, Cash-based, Flat Rate, and Flat Rate Cash-based.
