I have it in my near todo.txt to add export-json from income-gst-statement.scm which calculates net & VAT amounts. I will *not* be writing bridging software. If anyone can find the exact json format expected for HMRC I'll get it done. On Fri, 5 Apr 2019 at 05:32, Mike Evans wrote: > Hello all.

Hello all. After a hiatus I have successfully interacted with the HMRC API for a test account to post earning & expenses using python. None of it is joined up yet to: create|query a business, post and query data about that business but my "tests" appear to work as individual pieces. I haven

Hi All I have reviewed one of pre-gnucash accounting software which I tried 10-15 years ago. VT Cashbook is free, uses double-entry internally, and is a good solution for UK-based small traders who do not need accruals. http://www.vtsoftware.co.uk/mtd/index.htm A VAT return using sample data (sa

Hi all, I just learned with some shock that the UK wants to force SMEs to submit VAT returns “via external software packages” by 1 April 2019, and presents a list of some 150 packages to choose from. If you’re lucky enough to already be using one of those packages, great. If you’re not, you’re
