Setting up GovTalk

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by crawlenj 130

Hi, I'm new to Dynamics and am setting up a client's accounting records in Business Central.

I can see from the help article "Report VAT to Tax Authorities" that I should activate the GovTalk connection via the "Service Connections" list. However, when I navigate to this list "GovTalk" is not on it.

Can I have some advice on what to do next?

Many thanks,

Nicola

    I am a NA Engineer, so I didn't have this option under Connection Setup.  I spun up a GB tenant and I can see this in the list in Service Connections (GovTalk Setup). What region is your environment in?

    Hi Andy, thanks for getting back to me.

    The company information page shows that it is in the UK and so I assume the company would have been set up with a UK setup?

    I've asked the administrator to install the Making Tax Digital extension, but he's not confident that he's installed it correctly and there has been no change to the Service Connection options.

    I guess the only thing I can do now is ask the administrator to get some support with setting this up.

    You may want to raise a support request to Microsoft support via your CSP / Partner

    Nicola,

    I am guessing you are speaking about Making Tax Digital with the UK. Here is a link to the setup instructions:

    Thanks,

    Steve
