Receipt Bot Update: Submit VAT Directly to HMRC & Sign Up with Apple!

Submit VAT Returns to HMRC via Receipt Bot

Many users expressed frustration about relying on third-party bridging software to submit VAT returns. This created unnecessary steps and compliance risks. With this update, Receipt Bot can now extract VAT-relevant data directly from uploaded PDFs — including bills, receipts, sale invoices, and ledgers — and prepare the VAT return accordingly.

Important Note: UK-based businesses on the accruals scheme can now submit VAT returns directly to HMRC through Receipt Bot, eliminating external tools and ensuring a more seamless experience.
