Bookkeeping & Making Tax Digital

Every receipt, payout and mile, kept digitally and correctly. The legal requirement from April 2027, done from your phone.

What this actually is

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax starts for sole traders earning over £30,000 in April 2027. At that point you must keep digital records and send HMRC four quarterly summaries a year. Not a spreadsheet export — actual compatible software, updated quarterly.

Most couriers are still keeping receipts in a door pocket. That works until it doesn't, and it definitely doesn't once MTD arrives. This service is the fix: you forward a photo, we keep the record.

Why it's worth doing before you have to

Because catching up two years of records later costs several hundred pounds and a fortnight of stress, and because the first year of MTD is the one where everyone gets it wrong.

What's included

  • Receipt capture by WhatsApp
  • Automatic bank feeds
  • Platform income reconciled
  • Mileage log at 45p/mile
  • Expenses categorised
  • Four MTD quarterly updates
  • MTD-compatible software included
  • Records exported free any time

Good to know

Digital records are a legal requirement, not a preference, from April 2027 for anyone over £30,000. Under that, it's still the cheapest way to avoid a January panic.

Every Sunday: profit, tax owed, what's due next.

Common questions

Do I need to change software?

No. We provide MTD-compatible software as part of the service. You never log into it unless you want to.

What if my receipts are paper?

Photograph them. If you've got a bag of them, that's the clean-up service — we'll sort the backlog first.

Does this cover my tax return?

Not on Records. Sorted adds all four MTD quarters and the Self Assessment return.
