Product description
ABC VAT Bridge allows you to submit your VAT return directly to HMRC, using figures from a spreadsheet. Nothing is shared with us or stored in the cloud.
You can import from spreadsheets created with Excel (.xlsx) or OpenOffice/LibreOffice (.ods).
Once you have selected a spreadsheet to import the VAT return figures from, you specify which cell to use for each box. If you keep the layout of your spreadsheet unchanged, you can re-use the same cell locations each time you prepare a VAT return - so all figures are imported with just a couple of clicks, for you to then confirm and submit.
ABC VAT Bridge was designed for business owners submitting their own VAT returns, including those with multiple businesses. It is also suitable for agents.
