Yes, #GoFile works with all bookkeeping software, including your own spreadsheets.

If you record your VAT transactions in a spreadsheet, this will be fine. You’ll just need to export your VAT Return for submission through #GoFile.

Once you’ve registered, please see the video tutorials and example spreadsheets in the How To : Tutorials section – for a simple 3-step process on how to integrate #GoFile with your spreadsheet.

With Making Tax Digital, one requirement is that you will need to keep a digital record of your transactions. It is no longer acceptable to use paper records to calculate your VAT Return.

As such you will need bookkeeping software of some kind, in order to keep your records in the required format.

If you need software, we do provide example spreadsheets, and you can easily tailor these to your requirements if needed. This will enable you to keep your transaction history in the accepted digital format, and file your VAT Returns through #GoFile.
