About this product
A VAT client is four deadlines a year, and each one depends on getting their records in time. This works out every deadline and does the asking.
You keep one row per VAT-registered client, with the months their quarters end - Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec, Stagger 1, 2 or 3, or Monthly. The deadline is one month and seven days after each period ends, which works out as the 7th of the month after next.
Three days after a quarter ends it asks the client for their records, with a date to send them by, and reminds them on that date if nothing has come in. You hear at 14, 7 and 2 days before each return is due, in one email for every client at once, and the day after if one is missed. If a deadline lands on a weekend, it says so and names the Friday.
When you file, put the period end in 'Filed up to' and the next quarter takes over. Clients on the annual accounting scheme are named and left alone rather than guessed at.
It is a reminder system, not advice: it works out dates from what you put in the sheet, using the rules as they stood in September 2026. You remain responsible for your filings. When a rule or rate changes, the setting that holds it is on the Settings tab.
Features
- Deadlines from any stagger - quarter months, Stagger 1, 2 or 3, or monthly returns
- Asks the client for records 3 days after the quarter ends, and reminds them on the date you set
- One email to you at 14, 7 and 2 days before, for every client at once
- Flags weekend deadlines - 7 November 2026 is a Saturday
- Direct Debit clients are told HMRC will collect; others are told the payment date
- Filing moves it on to the next quarter by itself
- Every message is recorded against the client, the deadline and its date, so nothing is sent twice and next quarter's reminders are new ones
- Starts in test mode - everything comes to you until you say otherwise
- Warns you when a deadline lands on a weekend or bank holiday, and names the working day before
- The wording lives on a tab in the sheet, so you change it without touching code
- Runs inside your own Google account. No client data is sent to us or to anyone else
Product questions
No. It works out the deadlines and sends reminders. It does not submit anything to HMRC or Companies House - you or your clients still do that.
A Google account - a free Gmail account works, and so does Google Workspace - and Google Sheets in your web browser. Nothing is installed on your computer.
Open a new Google Sheet, go to Extensions > Apps Script, paste in the script from your download and run install once. It builds the tabs, the settings and the daily schedule for you. The setup guide shows every click.
No. Test mode is on when you install it: every message comes to you first, marked [TEST], with a line saying who it would have gone to. You switch test mode off in the Settings tab when you are happy with it.
Google asks you to approve any script that reads your sheet or sends email from your account. Because the script runs in your own account rather than as a published app, Google shows its standard warning screen. The setup guide explains each button.
No. Everything stays inside your own Google account. The script cannot contact any other website, and we never see your sheet or your emails.
It stops at 50 a day unless you change that in Settings. Google's own limit is about 100 recipients a day on a free Gmail account and 1,500 on Google Workspace.
No. You pay once. It runs on Google's free Apps Script service in your own account, so there is nothing to renew.
