Margin scheme without the migraine
Motonu understands the VAT margin scheme, so every sale posts the right journals — and your accountant gets clean exports instead of a shoebox.
Sale completed → journal posting…
Margin scheme, handled
Motonu tracks purchase price, costs and sale price per vehicle and calculates margin VAT correctly — including part exchanges.
Journals posted as you sell
Completing a deal posts the sales journal automatically. No month-end catch-up, no guessing which invoice matched which car.
Straight into Xero, or clean exports
Connect Xero and push sales invoices across in one click, or download clean CSV journals for Sage, QuickBooks or your accountant's own system.
VAT returns filed digitally
Motonu calculates your 9-box VAT return from your deals and purchases — margin scheme, input VAT and all — and submits it to HMRC under Making Tax Digital.
Purchase ledger and bank reconciliation
Log supplier invoices for stock, parts and overheads, then import your bank statement and match every transaction against invoices, card payments and purchases.
Know your numbers daily
Live margin per vehicle, stock value, stock aging and per-location performance mean you know how the month is going before your accountant does.
