ERPNext · United Kingdom
Remote ERPNext projects for UK companies, with VAT, Making Tax Digital and record-keeping rules from HMRC built into the design.
We set up tax templates around the rates HMRC publishes: standard 20 per cent, reduced 5 per cent and zero rate, with exempt supplies kept separate, so each invoice line carries the right rate. Your accountant confirms which rate applies to each product.
HMRC expects VAT Returns from compatible software, with digital links and no manual copying. We agree whether ERPNext keeps the VAT records and a bridging product files the return, or the ledgers stay in accounting software. HMRC’s search decides compatibility; we claim none.
Opening balances, open invoices and VAT history move across with a reconciliation your accountant signs off. VAT records must be kept for at least 6 years, so older history that does not need to live in ERPNext is archived in a retrievable form rather than dropped.
We serve UK businesses remotely from India. The path is our usual one: requirements, configuration, data migration, training and post-go-live support, with the stabilisation support and AMC options described on our default pages.

The standard VAT rate is 20 per cent for most goods and services, the reduced rate is 5 per cent for some goods and services, and the zero rate (0 per cent) applies to items such as most food and children’s clothes. Some supplies, such as financial and property transactions, are exempt from VAT.

A VAT Return must be submitted using accounting software that is compatible with Making Tax Digital, unless the business is exempt or has cancelled its VAT registration. HMRC can charge a penalty of up to £400 for a paper VAT Return where the business is not exempt.

Some VAT records must be kept digitally, including VAT on supplies made and received, the time and value of each supply and any adjustments to a return. Where several software products are used they must be linked digitally; copying and pasting data by hand is not allowed.

VAT records must be kept for at least 6 years, or 10 years if the business uses the VAT One Stop Shop scheme or used the VAT Mini One Stop Shop scheme. Records start when the business registers for VAT.

All VAT-registered businesses should now be signed up for Making Tax Digital for VAT. They must keep VAT records and file returns using compatible software, or bridging software that connects other software such as spreadsheets to HMRC. HMRC has a software search service.

A summary for orientation only. It is not legal advice.
ERPNext is free and open source, so there is no licence fee. You still pay for hosting and for implementation work. UK VAT set-up, Making Tax Digital routing and migration are part of the project scope and are quoted after a requirements call.
Your accountant or tax adviser does. We configure the system to the rules you give us and show you the HMRC pages we worked from, but we do not give tax advice.
Meeting times are agreed per project and held on video. We have no UK office or local team; the delivery team works remotely from India.
Email and online calls; we work with UK teams remotely.
