What is Making Tax Digital?

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC's initiative to modernise the UK tax system. It requires businesses to keep digital records and submit VAT returns using compatible software. MTD for VAT is already mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses.

Peppol is a separate European standard for exchanging structured electronic invoices. While not yet mandated in the UK post-Brexit, Peppol is used voluntarily — particularly for public sector contracts via Crown Commercial Service and for cross-border EU invoicing.

QuotCraft handles both: your invoices are MTD-compliant for HMRC, and you can send and receive Peppol invoices for public sector clients and EU work. All included at no extra cost.
