What information do I need to upload for a VAT return?

For each VAT return, you upload a CSV file created from the AbraTax VAT Excel template.

You will need:

1. A working Excel spreadsheet with your VAT figures
2. Digital formula links from your working file to the AbraTax VAT template
3. Values for the 9 VAT boxes (Boxes 3 and 5 are calculated automatically)
4. The AbraTax VAT template saved and exported as a CSV file

After upload, AbraTax validates the return, shows a preview, and allows submission to HMRC.

For agents, the same information is uploaded on behalf of clients after selecting the correct client and VAT period.

For Step-by-step guidance, see our video on How to connect a VAT registration and How to file a VAT return.
