MTD VAT

Drafting an MTD VAT return from books

How Hydra maps income and expense lines into the nine boxes, then guides review and submit.

Enter income and expenses with the correct VAT rate on the Books tab. Hydra calculates VAT in integer pence.

On the VAT rail, choose an open obligation, prepare the return, and review boxes before submit. Fraud-prevention headers are attached automatically at the last step.

After acceptance, the form bundle number and processing date appear on the return history and in the audit trail.
