MTD Odoo Marketplace - VAT module

Pre-preparation

Before being able to use MTD, there are various pre-preparation activities which can be started before the module is installed.

MTD depends on having an HMRC 'Government Gateway' account registered for MTD VAT. Therefore as a first step, make sure that you have your Government Gateway log-in details and have registered for MTD.

If you do not have your HMRC information, a sandbox user can be provided to enable testing before the official details are available.

The registration process is different for businesses and agents.

Note that once you have signed up for MTD, you will not be able to submit VAT returns manually so make sure that all returns are up to date before registering.

Review previous VAT returns, check that all transactions are included and that you are comfortable with your VAT posting transactions. MTD will post your errors as fast as it posts good data to HMRC!

Preparation

If you now have (or are in the process of setting up) your VAT MTD details with HMRC, you can still get started with MTD preparations.

You will need to know:

  • The company that you are setting up in Odoo
  • Odoo VAT Input and Output accounts
  • VAT liability account
  • The date of the last manual VAT return (the cut-off date)
  • You will need to have thought about or set up

VAT number

Make sure you have the VAT number configured in Settings -> Companies.

MTD start date

Decide when MTD starts. For example, if you set the date to 1st Feb 2019, when generating the VAT 100 report the system would include the entries from 1st Feb 2019 only.

You will also need the following MTD credentials from OpusVL to finish the set-up:

  • Server token
  • Client ID
  • Client secret
  • HMRC URL
  • Redirect URL

Installation

  • Firstly, ensure that the module file is present in the add-ons directory of the Odoo server
  • Update Modules list so that it appears in the UI within Apps
  • Look for the module within Apps and click on Install
  • Go to 'Settings -> Users' and add users to the 'MTD VAT' group and 'MTD User Group'

Configuration

HMRC Set-up

The following credentials must be configured in Accounting -> Making Tax Digital -> MTD Setup -> HMRC Setup

  • Name: HMRC Live Environment
  • HMRC Environment: Live
  • Server Token: Supplied by OpusVL
  • Client ID: Supplied by OpusVL
  • Client Secret: Supplied by OpusVL
  • HMRC URL: https://api.service.hmrc.gov.uk
  • Redirect URL: Use the base URL of your installation ie 'https://your.odoo.uk/'

If you require an HMRC sandbox log-in to test the modules, contact OpusVL for details. No data posted to the sandbox will be saved by HMRC and the data returned is always the same template results.

Accounting set-up

The following data must be configured in 'Accounting -> Making Tax Digital -> MTD Set-up -> Accounting Set-up':

  • Company to which company MTD applies
  • MTD journal
  • Accounts the company uses for input and oputput VAT

The module is very intuitive and thoughtfully designed. It does what it claims. Would recommend this module to any business in UK who like to digitally submit VAT to HMRC.
