Don't ditch your spreadsheet

MTD only changes how you file your figures. Not how you calculate them.

What MTD is not

Despite the marketing, there is no requirement for accounting software.

According to HMRC, 81% of taxpayers never used this.1

What MTD is

  1. 1
    No more filing via GOV.UK. You must get software.
  2. 2
    Keep 'digital records'. Any spreadsheet is compliant.
  3. 3
    Send totals to HMRC once per quarter.

That's it.

What we built

The bridge between your spreadsheet and HMRC.
