Downloading the template

 

The AlphaBridge template is used to digitally link your data from your VAT calculation spreadsheet into the 9 boxes required for the VAT Return.  It can then be uploaded into the portal, so that you can submit your entity’s VAT Return to HMRC.

 

  1. From the Entity management screen, locate and select your entity.

  2. This will take you to the VAT Returns tab.  Click on the Download template option in the AlphaBridge template box.

 

  1. Once the Excel template has been downloaded, you can open it.

Note: If you want to download load multiple templates so that you can populate them at a later time, simply save and close the template once you have opened it.  Click back into your browser and click on the Finish button.
