Bransom Retail Systems’ MTD Software has been officially recognised by HMRC. The platform is one of the few retail-specific systems and probably the only jewellery-specific software to be compliant for submitting VAT returns through the Making Tax Digital system.

While Bransom developed the platform for its bsmart Accounts users, the platform can be used by any retailer to upload a suitable VAT file to the HMRC portal.

More details at https://www.bransom.co.uk/mtd

Bransom clients can access help documents, tutorial videos and other resources at any time via the secure clients-only web portal. User guides, FAQs, video guides and more.

When a core part of a jewellery business is creating bespoke items or refurbishing and selling second-hand items, calculating the nett profit or correct VAT on components can be difficult.

To make these calculations easier and more accurate, Bransom Retail Systems has released enhanced modules for their bsmart stock management systems which not only make the process easier, but also provide a full audit trail for VAT submissions to HMRC (keeping such digital records is a requirement of the new digital VAT return procedure).
