When HMRC’s new Making Tax Digital scheme comes into effect next April, businesses will be required to submit their VAT returns fully digitally and keep digital records.

While there will be many ways of achieving this with external accounting packages or spreadsheets, users of Bransom’s bsmart Accounts package will be able to use a new direct API link to submit their returns.

Our Repairs software has always had the capability for jewellers to preview and photograph an item before it is handed to the repairer and on its return using a WIA-compliant camera connected to the PC hosting the repairs software. This can prevent arguments over an item’s condition before and after a repair.

With the widespread use of and easy access to other types of camera and now smartphones, we have upgraded the imaging function in the repairs software to allow images to be attached to a repair using pictures downloaded from any device and selected using standard Windows Explorer functionality.
