[GNC-dev] [GNC] UK VAT and "Making Tax Digital"

[Maf. King]

Hi Christopher,

Thanks.  The sample report output looks good.

Haven't tried to build GC since 1.6 ish days ( a long time ago) so I'm not 
sure how that will go.  From the list, it seems a lot more simple than it used 
to be.

Will have a go and see what happens.  

thanks,
Maf.
