So if you get a letter saying you are about to get a thorough examination from a Vat inspector is that the equivalent of a "booty call"? I am not even going to get into this or I will be eating dinner with Jerry the beagle for the next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ik1980 11 Posted July 19, 2018 I emailed our accountant about this for my other business that I run. He has said it will come into operation form April 2019 (not sure if that's just for my business or everyone). He has said that the software has to be HMRC compliant, but its not clear what that will be. He will be advising me later on this year, because there may be that an Excel spreadsheet plus some sort of conversation software that may work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling the above exclusions will become a thing of the past as there no longer relevant in todays society, after all the whole scheme is called "making tax digital" but what do i know.

sellect2 19 Posted July 20, 2018 Autosales system works really. It’s well priced and the owner is a nice guy! Support is great. Just one thing is it “on line “ yet?? Not sure as we used a server based system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just one thing is it “on line “ yet?? Not sure as we used a server based system. I signed up with them on Friday and they trained me on all aspects of the system by the end of the day. Back-dated the system to the start of April over the weekend so have everything is now on from the start of my financial year. I have to agree on the support was great, I had to call a few times as I made a few silly mistakes but was told how to easily amend them. I have been defending my Excel spreadsheet for years, I am certainly eating my words now! Would recommend this to anyone. The "On Line" query was a worry but I have asked them this morning and it's the link to Sage that makes this compatible with the MTD. Sage is what they are going to train me on tomorrow (expecting that to not be as straight forward but it's nice to know I have someone hold my hand!) This MTD is still a load of bollocks in my eyes but it is a blessing in disguise for me after forcing me to sign up to a proper car dealer system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im the same as you only excel nothing else. Can you pay your vat bill as well through them? bloody headache! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you pay your vat bill as well through them? bloody headache! Well....Autosales does 90% of the work in Sage for you with the buying and selling cars. However I have been taught today how to put wages and electricity bills etc. through Sage directly. (Not as scary as I first thought and I must repeat how amazing the support is, I feel as if I'm being a pain as I just call with loads of questions, a lot that have nothing to do with them just me being an idiot! But I am assured that nothing is too much hassle and I can call for help whenever I want). I have not gone far enough to say whether you can pay the VAT through them but I know you can submit your VAT return in a matter of seconds as I saw this during the demo. I really didn't want to leave my excel as all I knew was my spreadsheet!! I must say though even 4 days into a proper system I am seeing the benefits, my advice is to have a look at it they gave me a demo over the phone using some remote software. www.autosalessystems.co.uk Edited July 23, 2018 by GazzLaad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
