Global Shop Solutions ERP software supports digital taxes for VAT in version 2018.1 and newer of our software. You can find our company on the list of HMRC-recognised software for the new Making Tax Digital (MTD) regulation at GOV.UK.

This period is known as your ‘accounting period’. During the accounting period, the VAT Return records:
- Your total sales and purchases
- The amount of VAT you owe
