Updated: The soft landing period has been extended until April 2021 to help businesses deal with the Coronavirus crisis.
When MTD for VAT launched, HMRC allowed a period of adjustment for businesses. The soft-landing period runs until April 2020 and provides flexibility while businesses put their MTD for VAT solution in place. Please note that this is at HMRC’s discretion, so it’s best to get started with MTD for VAT as soon as possible.
