Hi Kelly, did you get to the bottom of these peculiar requests? We have a few clients in a similar position but for November 2021. We have been monitoring them closely as their turnover has climbed in November and December due to seasonal trading trends. We assume they are wanting to monitor the turnover for VAT purposes (which we have been doing for them). If multiplying the turnover for the month of November or December by twelve or maintaining a similar level of turnover throughout the rest of the year they would have to be VAT registered but as all other months are a lot lower, the rolling turner is always well under the £83,000 de-registration limit. Just wondered if you managed to change yours to annual ones again rather than monthly ones and what the reasoning was?
I'm not sure it's just a MTD issue. I have a business that is below that VAT threshold so doesn't need to enrol for MTD yet, still filing VAT returns the old school way through the HMRC website and it isn't accepting them today. When you have to confirm your log in details, instead of submitting the return their website is taking you back to the main 'Business Tax Account' page. It's stuck in a loop!
