Please note that VAT periods are officially set by HMRC and this information fixes the dates in Business Finance Assistant for you. We cannot change the VAT period as it is relative to the dates of the last accounts you submitted to HMRC. When you have connected to HMRC, the VAT period will be greyed out.

 

Please ensure that you have enabled Making Tax Digital before trying to submit a VAT return by following the steps in this user guide: How do I get Business Finance Assistant set up for submitting VAT returns in compliance with Making Tax Digital?
