Now we are in here can we just say thank you so much for creating this. It is precisely what we wanted for our small business and is exactly what is needed. Please can you pass our thanks up to the team. This is a lifesaver for those business with some software capability and technical expertise. Brilliant. Thank you again for providing this elegant solution. Best.
I couldn't be more pleased to have chosen Absolute Accounting’s Excel VAT Filer software. I don't understand why so many are making MTD so complicated and expensive. I'm saving my clients a small fortune by being able to continue to record their accounts on spreadsheets as I've been doing for 20 years without the need for expensive accounting packages such as Sage etc. I'll be renewing my licence shortly.
Your filer is truly excellent and I'm very glad indeed that I chose to go with you. I was actually quite worried about how complicated it all sounded when HMRC moved to digital VAT filing a while back but your system really does make it very easy and straightforward. 5 stars :).
It is so hard being a small business having to keep up with so many changes (not just HMRC - Vehicle Maintenance, Pensions, Health and Safety...) which are very difficult to get my head round at times. Your software enabled me to continue using my own excel sheets for VAT, not have to change to a Software Accounts Package which I probably wouldn’t have been able to understand or afford.
As I said for me your MTD software is AWESOME.
I have just used the Absolute Tax VAT Filer - and it was so straight forward. I am both impressed and relieved. Having worked in IT for 32 years I was delighted from the start. The intro video on the Absolute Tax website gave clear and detailed instructions of how the VAT Filer works and it was all completely true. The software does exactly what it says on the tin! I had been prepared for hours of trial and error but My first MTD VAT submission has gone completely without a hitch in about 30 minutes from start to end. Thank you Absolute Tax for making what seemed like a daunting and perilous task easy, reliable and reassuring.
Yes the software was brilliant, easy and was exactly what we was looking for. As all our accounts are recorded on simple excel spreadsheets, using the software to link the data with a few clicks was perfect for our style of accounting. When submitting the VAT filer to HMRC, in less than a minute it was done, very easy and user friendly. We would definitely recommend this software to any business who uses Excel spreadsheets for their accounting.
The software was easy to use and with the support of your team to talk through it went through quickly and our Vat return was paid within days.
Great Service today and so easy , being a absolute novice with XL etc it was so simple. Many Thanks once again. I am very confident going forward using this software and would recommend this to absolutely everyone.
I would recommend the MTD Vat Filer software as it is a cost effective, simple to use solution with good support from the Absolutetax team.
I found the software easy to use and the support from Absolute was very helpful.
Like a lot of IT contractors, my requirements are pretty simple. I maintain my accounts in Excel, and all I really need is some automated way of submitting my VAT return via the API. MTD VAT Filer has allowed me to do that. Once I'd got the username and password, it took me about 5 minutes to set up the links and make the submission. All in all, very painless, and definitely recommended for other people with similar circumstances to mine.
I used it and found it straightforward. It dispels a lot of the myths surrounding MTD.
I use the VAT filer bridging software for three companies that I do accounts for. Its brilliant. I’m no computer wis and at first I was not sure what I was doing transferring info from a spread sheet to your software but after a few phone calls to guide me through I am now able to use the system. It means I don’t have to pay for accounts programs, I can just use the spread sheets and your software is only £40 for up to 10 companies which is great. Please keep doing what you are doing as for me it works really well.
I have no qualms about recommending Absolute Excel Tax Filer to anyone who needs it. Hands down one of the easiest and convenient pieces of software I have used. We use it to make a number of VAT returns and have never had any issue in doing so. Also, on the odd occasion that I have contacted yourselves with a question or query the service received has been prompt and courteous. Best of luck hitting the 2 Million Mark.
Having set up in practice, I was looking for a way of filing VAT return for my clients without having to buy into expensive software that was mostly surplus to my and their needs. The Absolute VAT Filer software has been a "godsend" - it allows me to satisfy my client's VAT needs simply, efficiently and at a more than reasonable price. Many thanks for supporting people like me, I will be a customer for life!
Many congratulations on the great achievement of Absolute Excel Tax Filers (surpassing 1 million VAT submissions using EVF). Thanks for the brilliant product and it has saved me lots of worries. Keep up with the good work. From one of your happy customers.
Actually I think you are a one in a million company. Your software is functional, easy to use and extremely reasonably priced - in other words absolutely brilliant!!!
Your Excel VAT Filer bridging software is amazing, and so simple to use. Strange though it may seem, it is actually ‘fun’ to do VAT returns with it. And, importantly, your ‘help’ team is aways there to resolve any issues that may arise. We whole heartedly recommend this software to any VAT registered Excel spreadsheet account user.
