I for one find myself in the same boat and feeling similar frustrations
Would be very interested to hear of any Linux solution

Hi
Come April all VAT returns to HMRC will need to be through a new
digital portal. This is Making Tax Digital for VAT. Where existing
software is not compatible, a option is to use "bridging software"
which takes data from a file (e.g. in CSV format) and transfers it to
the portal. It's only 6-7 numbers, so a huge amount of hassle and a
portent of things to come. Unlike with RTI for PAYE, where HMRC
provides a basic tool for small businesses (including a Linux
version), for MTD they've left it to the market. So far,
unsurprisingly, I've yet to find any Linux MTD bridging software.
Which is ironic, as HMRC publish the API at
https://github.com/hmrc/vat-api and from the dollar signs and
references to Bash in the documentation it looks like this is being
developed under some *nix and all the dependencies are FOSS (Scala,
Java, SBT).
Don't know if there's anyone else on the LUG in the same boat, looking
for a Linux solution to this. Obviously it's possible to build a
utility using the API but web development isn't my bag.
