- HMRC has introduced the VAT Assist MTD API in alpha testing, allowing compatible software to send draft VAT return data to HMRC before formal submission.
- HMRC can review the draft data and send feedback; software must present that feedback to the user verbatim and acknowledge it was shown.
- There is no change to legal VAT filing obligations and no action is required from ordinary taxpayers at this stage.
- The development signals a move toward pre-submission VAT compliance checks, so advisers may need to document and retain HMRC prompts where a correct but unusual VAT treatment is used.
