Question

Creating VAT Group thus reregistering two VAT registered companies already using MTD

My discovery is that you must create a fresh Government Gateway ID, link this to the new VAT number for the VAT Group (VRN), then apply for MTD through this new Government Gateway ID (allowing a week for this to work.) In advance, however, 1) through the old Gov Gateway ID you need to login to your Busines Tax Account to 'stop using tax service' for all entities joining the VAT Group. Allow 48 hours for this to work. 2) in Quickbooks you will have to switched off the MTD in all VAT Group members as guided by Quickbooks. Be prepared to switch everything off for up to a week before you turn on the new VAT Number and new MTD link to Quickbooks.

Hello Stuart-alford-tw, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

Thank you for your feedback, we would always advise checking with HMRC that this is showing correctly with them or  checking with your accountant to make sure everything is correct with the returns.

 

If you are submitting a return for a VAT group that can be done in QuickBooks via spreadsheet(sometimes called the bridging tool). You would submit in company A(for example) for company A and B and then in company B mark the return as filed. We've included a how to for submitting via spreadsheet here.

Any questions let us know.
