Your Benefits with our Solution

PwC has developed an Excel based tool that bridges the gap between your spreadsheet based UK VAT return and HMRC.  Our simple MTD compliant and HMRC listed macro enabled workbook will allow you to submit your return directly to HMRC from your desktop without going through a 3rd party and without the need for complex cloud based environments.

A 1 year license costs £150 + VAT for each VAT registration number. We also offer options for a 2 year license (£260+VAT), 3 year license (£350+VAT) and discounts are available to agents requiring 10 licenses or more.

PwC’s Excel based MTD solution is listed by HMRC on their recognised software providers list.  Reviewed by Microsoft, the service never exposes any of your sensitive VAT return data to anyone other than HMRC. Safe, simple and suitable for businesses of all sizes.
