SAP · United Kingdom
Remote SAP projects for UK companies, starting with written questions on UK VAT localisation and the Making Tax Digital data flow.
Our SAP guidance notes S/4HANA includes country-specific tax localisation such as VAT. For a UK project we write a question list: which UK VAT scope the product delivers, which needs configuration and which needs an add-on. We do not assume the answer.
HMRC requires digital links between the software that holds VAT records and the software that files the return, with no manual copying. We draw the data flow, name each link and record who owns it, so the route can be explained if HMRC asks.
VAT records must be kept for at least 6 years. When moving from an older ERP we agree which history is migrated and which is archived in a retrievable form, with a reconciliation your finance team signs off.
We serve UK businesses remotely from India. We have no UK office or local team, and we show no UK client, partner level or certification here. Any SAP partner status is stated only where the owner has confirmed it.

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-registered business usually sends a VAT Return every 3 months, even when there is no VAT to pay or reclaim. The online deadline, and the deadline for payment to reach HMRC, is usually one calendar month and 7 days after the end of the accounting period.

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.
Our default SAP guidance says S/4HANA includes country-specific localisation for tax. The exact UK VAT and Making Tax Digital scope must be confirmed from SAP documentation for the release you will run; we put that check in the project plan.
Often the first question is how UK ledgers connect to group reporting in India. We scope intercompany flows, currency and the UK VAT route together, and your finance advisers confirm the tax positions.
