Free Making Tax Digital VAT Software

MTD VAT spreadsheet

HMRC recognised MTD VAT Bridging Software for Excel

If your accounting system is based on spreadsheets or can generate CSV output then the 100PcVatFreeBridge App is ideal for you.

On the 1st November 2022, HMRC withdrew the ability to enter your VAT return box values online via your HMRC login. Almost all companies now have to be signed up to MTD and must have 'digital links' in place for submitting VAT returns. 100PcVatFreeBridge can interpret the data from your spreadsheet or CSV file and present it in the right format for filing the return electronically with HMRC's secure gateway.

Previous Fundraising Campaigns

100PcVatFreeBridge was originally written to help provide a bridge from our simple Excel based accounts and then shared publicly to help fund raise for the 1st Poulner Scouts Adventure to Malawi. Thanks to donations from generous users an incredible £8447.22 was raised. Although, the trip to Malawai was postponed and later cancelled due to the Corona Virus outbreak, the funds have been used to help the Bongolo Scout troop build much needed infrastructure and to help the 1st Poulner Explorers with other life-changing experiences.

The second tranche of fundraising was to raise £5000 to support some OpenSource software projects that are crucial to performing our work. Thanks to your generous support we smashed this target and raised a fantastic £8430.
