Problem
VAT Filer Standalone queries and if you are using the GP VAT filer standalone
Resolution
There are two VAT types: the ‘VAT Standalone’ and ‘GP VAT standalone’
IRIS VAT Filer will automatically connect and retrieve any previous MTD submissions and current obligations for the selected client direct from HMRC. This also retrieves any liability and payment data directly from HMRC for the client and displays this information on screen.
The ‘periods’ shown on the left side are from HMRC (and not from IRIS). If the periods are incorrect, for example, incorrect quarterly or month, then you would need to contact HMRC and ask they correct them.
