What MTD actually requires
HMRC's Making Tax Digital for VAT requires every VAT-registered business to keep digital records and submit VAT returns through HMRC-approved software. Spreadsheets and the old HMRC portal are no longer compliant.
The requirement is not just software — it is a full digital link from each transaction to the submission. Every sale, every purchase, every expense with VAT on it must feed directly into your return with no manual steps in between.
WiseLinkNow is MTD-connected. Connect once with your HMRC credentials. Every VAT period, your return is pre-populated from your transactions. Boxes 1 through 9 fill automatically. You review, submit, and HMRC confirms.
What changes when you run on WiseLinkNow
What happens when the rules change
HMRC updates VAT rates and MTD requirements via gazette and developer bulletins. WiseLinkNow monitors HMRC's official sources continuously. If the standard rate changes, if exemption categories are amended, or if MTD filing requirements are updated, your account reflects the change before your next return. No action required from you.
Compliance is monitored continuously. If something changes that affects your account, you are notified before it becomes your problem.
