Making Tax Digital,
made simple

Connect to HMRC
The development journey connects individual owners to HMRC’s sandbox and lets them select the matching business. Live connection is not available.
Keep digital records
Record dated transactions or import digital bookkeeping records. Corrections are retained, and quarterly figures are calculated from those records.
Review cumulative updates
Review income and expenses from the start of the tax year. Submission testing is currently limited to HMRC’s sandbox.
What ClearMTD is being built for
£7.50/mo
Published monthly price. Public registration remains closed.
Dated records
Record and import transactions, with a history of corrections.
MTD only
Digital records and in-year updates. Final Declaration is outside the current scope.
UK built
Designed for UK tax rules from day one. Not a US product adapted for HMRC.
Built for people, not accountants
If you're self-employed or rent out property, MTD is now the law. ClearMTD is in development and cannot currently file live updates.
Sole traders
Freelancers, tradespeople, consultants — anyone self-employed earning over £50k. Track income and expenses quarterly without the complexity of full accounting software.
UK landlords
If your rental income puts you above the threshold, you need MTD-compatible software. ClearMTD makes property income reporting straightforward.
Overseas landlords
The development journey supports records for individual overseas properties and cumulative sandbox updates. Live filing is not available.
Published pricing
Public registration is closed. Joining the waitlist does not start a subscription.

Common questions
Who needs to use MTD software from April 2026?
Self-employed individuals and landlords with qualifying income above £50,000 must keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC using MTD-compatible software from April 2026. Those earning £30,000–£50,000 must comply from April 2027.
How much does ClearMTD cost?
Published pricing is £7.50/month or £65/year (saving 28%). Public registration is closed. Join the free waitlist for updates; live submissions require HMRC production approval.
What quarterly updates do I need to submit?
Under MTD for Income Tax, you submit four quarterly updates with your income and expenses, and a Final Declaration at year-end to confirm your overall tax position. ClearMTD is being developed for quarterly updates; it does not currently provide live submissions or a complete year-end tax return.
Is ClearMTD recognised by HMRC?
ClearMTD has not yet received HMRC production approval. Live tax submissions are unavailable; the current HMRC connection is for sandbox testing only.
What is the best MTD software for sole traders?
Choose software that supports your filing obligations and the features you need. ClearMTD is being developed for digital records and quarterly updates. It cannot currently file live updates or complete a year-end tax return.
