MEM HMRC VAT Setup Status

Use this page to review the connection status between the MEM entity or Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) group with HMRC. The connection status between an individual MEM entity or a MEM HMRC group must be established before any data is transmitted to HMRC. The HMRC capabilities are standard in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. For more information, see Making Tax Digital in the United Kingdom.
