I submitted a return on Friday for one of my monthly VAT clients. Have just logged onto HMRC to view the return I submitted, unlike the old system where you could view past returns, MTD does not appear to let you do this.
Have scrolled and search through HMRC site for directions but have drawn a blank !!!!
Can anyone point me in the right direction, not wanting to ring HMRC up just yet !!
Thanks, I did know this but this particular client is one of my on-site ones, I submit via their software (sage).
They called me this morning to query something on their account and when I logged onto HMRC I noticed that you can no longer view submitted returns under MTD.
Will just need to remember to take a copy of the receipt for my own records in future.
Hi Julie
I tend to pop things like this in a client specific shared file (you could use dropbox or the like), or I do have access to some clients PCs via a remote VPN login. (but dont ask me how to set that up...I use a good IT guy!)

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.
You should check out answers with reference to the legal position
If you have an ASA (and I know that is not always that easy) you can look at MTD VAT returns submitted by clients using the authority of your ASA. The same, of course, should apply with the clients MTD software.
There are, in fact, 5 VAT MTD APIs. These are APIs that HMRC offer so the information should be available via your MTD software.
1. Get a list of obligations (which gives a list of vat returns both open ones and fulfilled ones)
2. Look at a specific vat return
3. Look at vat payments
4. Look at vat liabilities
and
5. Submit a vat return.
The top 4 should be open to being run whenever you want to run them. 5 of course can only run once for each vat return (although that is slightly different for numeric period codes, but that is another story)
