IRIS VAT Filer

When bookkeeping software does not meet your complex VAT cases, our bridging software enables you to make VAT submissions to HMRC with ease and helps you comply with Making Tax Digital (MTD) mandates.

IRIS VAT Filer is the ideal option for customers looking for a quick and easy solution that meets the challenge of Making Tax Digital. IRIS VAT Filer imports values from various sources and submits them to HMRC, enabling quick and easy compliance with Making Tax Digital.

What IRIS VAT Filer can do for you:

MTD requires records to be maintained digitally and for VAT figures to be submitted to HMRC via specialised APIs. The easiest way to comply with this is to use bookkeeping software such as KashFlow, which allows for the digital records to be maintained and values to be submitted directly to HMRC. But in some scenarios, bookkeeping software is not a viable option. Under the new regulations, HMRC will not permit data being rekeyed from one product to another.

The HMRC online portal currently used for submitting VAT returns is not MTD compliant. Therefore, it cannot be used for businesses with a turnover above the VAT threshold.

  • Quickly and easily import the required VAT values for submitting to HMRC for compliance with Making Tax Digital.
  • Save time by eliminating the need for data entry – none is required.
  • Pull client details directly from the central database.
  • Connect to HMRC to retrieve a client’s VAT obligations, submissions, payments and liabilities.

IRIS Integrated VAT Filer solution is available to all existing subscribers of the IRIS Accountancy Suite – you just need to activate your licence.
