MTD VAT Setup & Training
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I need an accountant minimum AAT Level 4 who can get my UK trading buy-and-sell business fully Making Tax Digital compliant in a single engagement, then hand the reins back to me.
The job breaks down into three clear deliverables:
• Configure an HMRC-approved cloud package (I lean toward Xero or QuickBooks, but I’m open to Sage if you can justify it) and link it to my HMRC account.
• Build a VAT template that handles both standard‐rate transactions and the VAT margin scheme we use for second-hand stock, making sure every report pulls cleanly into an MTD submission.
• Run live training that shows me exactly how to:
– calculate VAT on margin-scheme sales,
– meet the record-keeping rules, and
– file the return through the software without errors.
I buy and sell mainly used electronics, so proven experience with margin schemes for that sector is crucial. Ideally you have set up several MTD systems already, speak the same language as HMRC, and can explain processes in plain English to someone who isn’t an accountant.
This is a one-off setup and knowledge-transfer project, though I may keep you on call until I have submitted the first few returns. When you reply, please tell me your preferred software, a brief summary of similar margin-scheme work you’ve done, and your fixed fee for the setup plus training.
