Thanks Paul. Currently we keep a spreadsheet which is our "digital record" and we submit the resultant VAT Return using bridging software, so I am comfortable with our current position with HMRC.


In order for Hansa Standard Accounts to be MTD compliant for us, we need to add extra VAT codes to our current configuration and we need to re-write the VAT report. Both of these can be done in the existing version but there seems little point in making changes if a new version is imminent.

However, we have a third problem and at the moment I cannot see a way around it in the current version of Hansa Standard Accounts. This problem is that, after a VAT return has been submitted further transactions can be entered with a transaction date that falls within that VAT period's dates. Those transactions are (obviously) not picked up in the submitted VAT Return but also they are not picked up in future VAT Returns.


As far as I can see there is no obvious way of identifying these transactions in Standard Accounts and including them in a future VAT Return. There are ways of doing this. In some systems once a VAT Return has been submitted all of the transactions included are flagged as included in a VAT Return. There is then the option to include unflagged transactions in the next VAT Return



Can you let me know how the new version able to address this problem?
