MTD-compatible VAT software that prepares and checks your returns. Built for businesses and practices across the UK.
Making Tax Digital Compliance Made Simple
Since April 2022, all VAT-registered businesses must keep digital records and submit VAT returns through MTD-compatible software. TaxStats AI is fully MTD-compatible software. It maintains your digital records, calculates your VAT liability, and prepares the nine-box VAT return with workings shown, ready for submission through your MTD filing software.
AI-Powered Error Detection
Before you submit, TaxStats AI checks your VAT return for common errors: mismatched input and output tax, unusual movements between periods, missing reverse charge entries, flat rate scheme calculation errors, and partial exemption issues. Catch mistakes before HMRC does.
Connects to Your Accounting Data
Pull data directly from Xero or upload your transaction data as CSV. TaxStats AI reconciles your accounting records against the VAT return, identifies discrepancies, and generates detailed workpapers showing exactly how each box was calculated. Full audit trail for HMRC compliance.
Quarterly VAT Submissions
TaxStats AI tracks your VAT periods and deadlines. Prepare each quarterly return well ahead of the deadline, review the AI's calculations, and submit with confidence. The software handles standard VAT accounting, cash accounting, flat rate scheme, and annual accounting scheme.
