Hi, We are using Gnucash very gratefully for now over a decade in our small business. We are VAT registered.
The UK government has declared it requires from this year onwards VAT businesses to go towards a complete digital solution with their tax under new law called "Making Tax Digital". All tax records need to be in a seamless electronic format from entering into books to filing with the tax office. An API has been offered https://developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk/api-documentation/docs/api/service/vat-api/1.0#_retrieve-vat-obligations_get_accordion The main obstacle I can see for us right now is we have as far as I can tell no way to file Tax returns from inside the programme. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-notice-70022-making-tax-digital-for-vat/vat-notice-70022-making-tax-digital-for-vat#para-3-2 I quote: > Functional compatible software is a software program, or set of > software programs, products or applications, that must be able to: > > record and preserve digital records (see paragraph 3.3) > provide to HMRC information and returns from data held in those > digital records by using the API platform > receive information from HMRC via the API platform > Is there anything you have in the pipeline? We can hardly be the first or only who will have a problem... Many thanks!
