MTD VAT submission failures: Windows 7
As a result of HMRC’s continued Making Tax Digital (MTD) development, changes to submission security protocols have meant businesses still running Windows 7 may no longer be able to submit their MTD VAT returns. We have seen a number of failures since the week beginning 21st November 2020.
Windows 7 is no longer a generally supported version of Microsoft products so we recommend that you speak to someone regarding an upgrade to Windows 10 or possibly, more appropriate, the purchase of a new machine.
