VAT for company currently in members voluntary liquidtion

On the 16th October, my company went into a members voluntary liquidation. The liquidator told me that I had to submit the company accounts, VAT return and corporate tax return for the period 1st January to 15th October. All these accounts have been prepared in Xero but it doesn't allow for companies in liquidation whose financial year has been curtailed. Is there another way of doing this? HMRC seem to suggest that you have to use your accounting software. Many thanks. Patrick O'Neill

Hi,
From a VAT perspective you should be able to complete a regular Making Tax Digital return up until the date the company went in to liquidation and then paper returns thereafter.
If you are unable to complete this please speak with our Helpline on 0300 200 3700.
Thank you.
