### "VAT returns made easy"

February 2, 2022

VAT reporting is extremely easy - 123 sheets does all the work!

Product is simple and efficient to use. Never had a problem

Cons

I have a very straightforward business so the software worked well for me as I just use Excel spreadsheets for book keeping purposes- it does not have to be integrated with other software

Reason for choosing 123 Sheets

123 Sheets was recommended by my accountant

Pros

This is so simple to use and I can file my VAT returns quicker than before Making Tax Digital.

Cons

It's great as it is, keep it simple and easy to use.

July 12, 2022

5.0

Easy to use

Pros

It's a spreadsheet and I use spreadsheets for our monthly management accounts - so it's familiar.

Cons

Disappointing to learn that other businesses have spent £1,000's on "proprietary software" that does the same job - sorry for them.

### "123 Vat Return Filing"

Very happy with it.

Pros

Once you had mastered the downloading of the worksheet and inserting into the company worksheet, it's a doddle to use. Very quick to upload to HMRC.

Cons

The initial filing of the VAT return was not as the instructional video showed but we worked around that.

### "Good software"

February 24, 2022

4.0

Very similar lay out to the HMRC website. Makes submitting VAT much the same as before MTD.

Pros

Easy to use with a simple excel upload format.

Cons

The tick box to confirm figures is a little bit out of the way and I often miss it when I go to submit the return. Having it closer to the submit button would help.

Pretty good, could make the downloadable sheet easier to find on the filing page, if you are doing it from simple excel accounting for instance.

Pros

Simple, quick, easy for small business people.

Cons

Nothing particularly. I have not used enough of the different products to comment.
