Making tax compliance
accessible to everyone
We're building the UK's most user-friendly Making Tax Digital platform — because compliance shouldn't require an accountancy degree.
Our Mission
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax represents one of the biggest changes to the UK tax system in decades. Starting from April 2026, millions of landlords, sole traders, and freelancers will need to file quarterly updates to HMRC using compatible software — replacing the familiar annual Self Assessment return.
We believe that compliance with these new obligations shouldn't be complicated, expensive, or stressful. That's why we built File MTD ITSA — a purpose-built platform that makes quarterly filing as simple as entering your numbers and clicking submit.
Our mission is to make MTD compliance accessible to everyone: from the individual landlord with a single buy-to-let property, to the large accountancy firm managing hundreds of clients. We handle the complexity of HMRC's API so you don't have to.
What drives everything we do
Simplicity First
Tax compliance is complex enough. Our software shouldn't add to that complexity. Every feature, every screen, every workflow is designed with simplicity as the primary goal. If it's not easy to understand, we redesign it until it is. We believe the best software is the kind that gets out of your way.
Trust & Security
You're trusting us with your most sensitive financial data. We take that responsibility seriously. Bank-level encryption, UK-based servers, GDPR compliance, and rigorous security audits protect your data at every level. We'll never sell your data, share it with third parties, or use it for anything other than providing our service.
Honest Communication
No jargon, no misleading marketing, no hidden fees. We communicate clearly about what our software does, what it costs, and what to expect. If something isn't working, we'll tell you. If a feature isn't ready, we'll say so. You deserve transparency from the tools you rely on for compliance.
Customer-Driven
Every major feature we've built has come from customer feedback. We listen to our users — landlords, sole traders, and accountants — and build what they actually need. Our product roadmap is shaped by real conversations with real customers, not by what we think looks impressive on a features page.
UK-Focused
We're not a US tax platform with UK bolted on. We're built from the ground up for the UK tax system, specifically for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. Every field, every calculation, every workflow is designed around HMRC's requirements and the unique needs of UK taxpayers and accountants.
Continuous Improvement
HMRC's requirements evolve, and so do we. We continuously update our platform to match the latest API changes, policy updates, and best practices. Regular feature releases, performance improvements, and security patches ensure you're always using the most current and capable version of the platform.
What makes File MTD ITSA different
Direct HMRC Integration
We connect directly to HMRC's Making Tax Digital APIs — no intermediaries, no third-party bridging software, no unnecessary data sharing. Your submissions go straight from our platform to HMRC, and responses come straight back. This means faster submissions, fewer points of failure, and complete transparency.
Built for Both Audiences
Most MTD platforms are either consumer-grade tools that lack firm features, or enterprise platforms that are too complex for individuals. We've built one platform that serves both — simple enough for a landlord to use themselves, powerful enough for a firm managing 200+ clients.
Fair, Transparent Pricing
Starting from just £69/year for individuals. No setup fees, no per-submission charges, no surprise costs. Firm plans include everything — not a base price with endless add-ons. We believe pricing should be simple and predictable, just like the software itself.
Sandbox Testing Included
Every account includes access to HMRC's full sandbox environment. Test every feature with synthetic data before going live. Other platforms charge extra for testing environments or don't offer them at all. We include it free because we believe you should be confident before submitting real data.
