Making Tax Digital (MTD)
United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom the obligation is not about the invoice format but about keeping VAT records digitally: records are kept digitally, the return is filed through compatible software to HMRC, and the data in between may not be re-keyed. TecT prepares the SAP data for that flow.
Supported processes
Digital VAT records
The records behind the return are kept digitally in SAP and mapped to the return boxes.
Digital links
The transfer from record to return is made through a link, without manual re-keying.
Return preparation and trail
The data going into the return stays traceable with its source and timestamp.
Integration path
The document is created inside SAP. Country-specific rules are applied outside SAP, in the TecT BTP Bridge layer; from there the document is sent to HMRC through compatible software and the result is written back to the record in SAP.
Clean Core is preserved: no local add-on is installed in the SAP core, and when the regulation changes the update is made in the integration layer. The same structure works from SAP R/3 through to Public Cloud.
