What you get
Everything you need
for Making Tax Digital for VAT.
Sales and purchases, logged
Enter what came in and what went out, with the VAT rate on each line. The digital record you are required to keep, kept in one place.
Nine boxes, calculated
Every box on your return is built from what you have logged, and shown to you in full before anything is submitted.
Every scheme covered
Standard accounting, cash accounting, the flat rate scheme with its cash and retailer methods, and annual accounting. Choose yours once and DoneVAT applies it.
Nothing goes until you submit
Logging or changing a figure never sends it to HMRC. Your return only goes when you choose, and you get HMRC's receipt when it does.
What you owe, what you've paid
Your VAT liabilities and payments, pulled from HMRC and shown alongside your returns, so you always know where you stand.
Every return at a glance
See which return is open, when it is due, and what has been filed. Annual accounting instalments are tracked too.
No accounting degree required
Log. Check. Done.
If your business is VAT registered, Making Tax Digital for VAT means keeping digital records and submitting your VAT return through compatible software. That can sound like more admin - DoneVAT is built to make it less.

Your VAT. Your data.
Simple doesn't mean careless.
DoneVAT keeps the process simple while treating the information you log with the care financial data requires.
Mistakes can be corrected
If you spot an error after submitting, HMRC lets you correct most errors on your next return. Larger ones are reported to HMRC separately. Either way, a mistake is fixable.
Your HMRC login stays yours
When you authorise DoneVAT to interact with HMRC, authentication takes place through HMRC's authorised process. DoneVAT never sees your HMRC credentials.
Your data is protected
Your information is encrypted and handled in accordance with UK data-protection requirements.

A note from the founder
Making Tax Digital for VAT has been the law for years, and plenty of small businesses still do it the long way round: a spreadsheet, then bridging software, then hoping the boxes match.
I've spent my career making things people want to come back to. When I looked at this, I saw one of the most boring jobs there is, and a real chance to make it feel simple.
So DoneVAT does one job. You keep your sales and purchases in one place, check your return, and send it to HMRC when you're ready. No spreadsheet, no bridging, and nothing goes until you say so.
There's a word I use more than any other: done. “I'm done” is how most people feel about their tax. “It's done” is how they should feel when they close the app.
That's the name, and that's the job.
