UK tax & MTD — frequently asked questions
Is AccountantUK compatible with Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
Yes. AccountantUK keeps your records digitally and prepares MTD for Income Tax and MTD for VAT — quarterly updates and your final declaration — to HMRC's specification, ready to review and export. Direct submission from the app switches on the moment our HMRC production access lands.
How long do I need to keep tax records in the UK?
HMRC requires digital records to be kept for at least 6 years. AccountantUK stores every receipt, invoice and statement encrypted for the full 6 years automatically.
Who is AccountantUK for?
Sole traders, landlords, CIS contractors and small limited companies who want their self-assessment, VAT and bookkeeping in one place.
Do I need an accountant as well?
That depends on how complex your affairs are. AccountantUK keeps the records, does the calculations and produces what HMRC and Companies House ask for — for many sole traders and small companies that is enough on its own. It is software, not regulated advice, so if your situation is unusual or you simply want a professional to sign things off, invite your accountant to your account for free and they can work alongside you in it.
