How does Finviva automate bookkeeping using AI?

Is Finviva 100% compliant with HMRC Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT?

Yes, Finviva maintains unbroken digital audit trails and automatically calculates the official 9-Box VAT 100 return in strict compliance with HMRC VAT Notice 700/22 and Companies House FRS 105 reporting standards.
