How do I submit a VAT return under Making Tax Digital?

How do I submit a VAT return under Making Tax Digital? You send it from Making Tax Digital software, usually every 3 months. The deadline is 1 calendar month and 7 days after the quarter ends, so a quarter ending 30 September 2026 is due by 7 November 2026. Not for a normal quarterly or monthly return. Since 1 November 2022 the VAT online account cannot be used to send them. It is still used for returns after you cancel your VAT registration, by some businesses in an insolvency arrangement, and by businesses HMRC has exempted from Making Tax Digital. No. GOV.UK says all VAT-registered businesses should now be signed up, and HMRC signs up any that are left automatically. You only need software that works with it. Yes, if you use bridging software to send the figures to HMRC. The figures must move between the spreadsheet and the bridging software by a digital link, not by retyping or copy and paste.
