I’m a UK-based sole trader who already keeps everything inside Xero and is now looking ahead to Making Tax Digital. My books are up to date, so this job is entirely about the future: setting up the MTD link in Xero correctly, making sure each quarter’s figures reconcile, and then submitting the returns to HMRC on time with no surprises. Here’s what I need from you: • An initial review of my current Xero settings to confirm they’ll pass HMRC’s digital-link rules. • Hands-on guidance (or screen-share if easier) to switch on the MTD for VAT module and map the right accounts. • Help finalise online filing of each quarterly return going forward, with a short note explaining any variances or unusual entries. • Quick ad-hoc answers when I hit a question between quarters—ideally within one business day and check return. Acceptance criteria – MTD connection in Xero shows “HMRC—Connected”. – First quarterly VAT return submitted successfully and acknowledged by HMRC. – Reconciliations match the figures in the filed return to the penny. If you’re already comfortable filing MTD returns through Xero and can keep me compliant from Q1 onward, let’s talk.
