File your UK VAT returns to HMRC under Making Tax Digital — straight from ERPNext. All three VAT schemes, the full 9-box return computed from your invoices, and a real HMRC
submission with receipt. Free.

Overview

Zikpro UK VAT turns your ERPNext data into a compliant Making Tax Digital (MTD) VAT return and files it directly with HMRC. It reads your sales and purchase invoices, builds the 9 box return, checks it, and submits it — with a full audit trail and a receipt from HMRC. Connection to HMRC is handled through a secure broker, so no HMRC credentials are ever stored on your site.

The free Basic edition is a complete filing tool for most businesses. An optional Pro add-on layers on the advanced year-end and sector-specific adjustment engines.

Included free — Basic edition

Everything you need to prepare, check and file a VAT return:

·       Direct MTD filing to HMRC — obligations, 9-box return, submit, and receipt.

·       All three VAT schemes: Standard (accrual), Cash Accounting, and the Flat Rate Scheme — including scheme-eligibility checks and transitional handling when you change scheme.

·       The full 9-box return computed automatically from your ERPNext sales and purchase invoices.

·       Box-to-invoice drill-down and plain-English calculation notes for every figure.

·       Manual VAT adjustments and bad-debt relief schedules that fold into the boxes.

·       Immutable VAT ledger plus GL reconciliation, with double-count and mismatch warnings before you file.

·       Liabilities, payments and late-submission/late-payment penalty points read live from HMRC.

·       Separation of duties — a preparer builds the return, an approver files it.

·       HMRC Fraud Prevention Headers and the legal submission declaration, built in.

·       Secure broker connection to HMRC — your site never stores HMRC client secrets.

·       A single cockpit: Dashboard, Prepare Return, Reports, History, Connect and Settings.

Optional upgrade — Pro

Add the Pro edition when you need the advanced adjustment engines that calculate the figures for you:

·       Partial Exemption annual adjustment (VAT Notice 706), including the de-minimis test.

·       Capital Goods Scheme (VAT Notice 706/2) — 5- and 10-year interval adjustments and schedules.

·       Domestic Reverse Charge for construction / CIS (VAT Notice 735).

·       Automatic generation of year-end adjustment schedules when they fall due.

·       Multi-company and further advanced controls.

Without Pro, these appear as clearly-labelled upgrade options — Basic remains a fully functional filer.

Security & compliance

·       Built for HMRC Making Tax Digital for VAT.
