VAT returns that add themselves up
BusyBee Hub records VAT on your invoices, bills, expenses and bank transactions, turns them into boxes 1 to 9 for the standard, cash accounting and flat rate schemes, checks the return with you, and sends it to HMRC through Making Tax Digital. Your VAT periods, what HMRC has received and what you still owe come straight from HMRC.
Built and tested against HMRC's test service. Connecting to HMRC and sending updates and returns opens once HMRC approves BusyBee Hub for live use.
Every box, explained, and checked before you send
Open any box to see exactly which invoices, bills, expenses and bank receipts are in it, and at which VAT rate. Cash accounting counts payments rather than invoices; the flat rate scheme applies your percentage to gross turnover. On the flat rate scheme, your Self Assessment estimate uses the same flat rate too, so the two figures always agree. Before you send, BusyBee Hub lists unexplained bank transactions, draft documents, purchases without a receipt and anything else worth a second look, so nothing is hidden and nothing is sent by accident.
Corrections without the spreadsheet
Change or add a document after a return is sent and the difference lands on your next return as a correction, with HMRC's limits applied. Manual adjustments keep a reason and an audit trail.
