Making Tax Digital represents the biggest change to the UK tax system in a generation. With the April 2026 mandate now active, hundreds of thousands of sole traders and landlords must transition to digital record-keeping and quarterly reporting.
MTDplan.co.uk was built with a single goal: to make MTD compliance simple, fast, and transparent. Navigating HMRC guidance is confusing, and choosing software is overwhelming. Our eligibility checker cuts through the jargon — answer four questions and get a personalised action plan with your legal deadlines and the most cost-effective software for your situation.
We are proudly independent. We are not owned by any accounting firm or software provider. While we participate in affiliate partnerships to keep our tools free, our recommendations are limited to software officially recognised by HMRC as MTD-compatible. We include both free and paid options, and our comparison tables show genuine pros and cons — not just marketing copy.
MTDplan.co.uk is free to use. We earn revenue through affiliate commissions when users sign up for accounting software through our links. This costs you nothing extra — the price is the same whether you click our link or go direct. We clearly label all affiliate links and disclose this relationship on every page with software recommendations.
If you have questions, want to report an issue, or represent an HMRC-approved software provider, please get in touch via our support form.
