VAT return data is sent from the ERP or uploaded independently through ION into the LSP database. The grouping functionality is used to consolidate multiple VAT declarations from different sources into a single submission. Each submission can be reviewed before it is submitted to HMRC. In addition, information on returns, historical liabilities, and payments can be retrieved from HMRC and reviewed.

LSP functionalities

This table shows the MTDfV functions that are supported in LSP:

Functionality Description
Submit VAT Return Submits a VAT return data directly to HMRC

Prior to submission, the details of the VAT return (9 boxes amount) can be viewed for review and verification. The taxpayer must confirm a declaration before sending the return directly to HMRC.

Frequency of submission could be monthly, quarterly, or annually.

Verify Submitted VAT Return Shows the submitted amounts and generates submitted VAT return data from HMRC for validation

The In Balance status verifies if the submitted information for the selected tax period is equal to the generated data from HMRC.

The report generated includes this information:

  • Charge type of the liability

View VAT Payments Generates information on payments that have been used to offset liabilities whose To date falls in the requested date range.
