What MTD Submission Pro is
MTD Submission Pro is Windows desktop software for importing VAT data and submitting VAT returns directly to HMRC. DC Software describes it as HMRC-recognised. Data can be imported from spreadsheets, CSV files, or Sage Accounts, and an Excel add-in supports submissions from a worksheet template. After sending a VAT period, the software receives an acknowledgement from HMRC in seconds. Users can print VAT-period data and HMRC responses to PDF, and view customer VAT payments and liabilities held by HMRC. The Individual plan costs £25 a year for one business; Limited costs £75 a year for up to 10 businesses; Unlimited costs £160 a year for unlimited VAT returns. Prices include VAT and cover a 12-month licence. A free evaluation copy is available, but no free plan is listed. Additional users cost £30 per user.
