Step by step
The same journey, written out — so you can read it at your own pace.
- Connect HMRC for MTD VAT
Sign in once with your Government Gateway. We read your VAT registration and obligations so the return builds itself.
- Build the quarter from your bank
Sales and purchases are categorised from your connected accounts, with the VAT split out — standard, reduced, zero-rated and exempt.
- Check the nine boxes
We total the standard VAT boxes — VAT due on sales, VAT reclaimed, and the net to pay — exactly as HMRC expects them.
- Submit to HMRC
One tap files the return over the MTD VAT API; we set the next deadline and the payment date for you.
Common questions
Does AI TaxPilot submit MTD VAT returns?
Yes — it builds the nine VAT boxes from your bank feed and submits the return over HMRC’s MTD VAT API, then sets your next deadline and payment date.
Do I have to be VAT-registered?
You must register for VAT once your taxable turnover passes the threshold (or voluntarily below it). All VAT-registered businesses now file under Making Tax Digital for VAT.
File VAT without the spreadsheet
Connect HMRC, build the nine boxes from your bank feed and submit your MTD VAT return in minutes.

Always check your own figures against HMRC and consider a qualified adviser before acting. You remain responsible for the accuracy of anything you file.
