Making Tax Digital — MTD ITSA
File your MTD quarterly update yourself.
No accountant. No spreadsheet. No subscription trap.
MTDLite is a minimal, no-fuss tool for sole traders and landlords who want to send their quarterly HMRC income and expense update — and nothing more. You enter your totals, we validate and submit to HMRC, you get a confirmation.
MTD Income Tax Self Assessment — quarterly filing for sole traders and landlords. Not MTD for VAT.
£5 per quarterly filing
No monthly subscription. No annual tie-in. Pay only for what you file.
Four quarterly filings a year = £20/year total.
Your year-end Final Declaration stays with your accountant or HMRC's free channel — MTDLite handles the quarterly data drops only.
How it works
Connect HMRC
Authorise MTDLite via your Government Gateway login. We never see your password — it's OAuth, the same standard used by banks.
Enter your totals
One plain form per business. Enter your quarterly income and expense category totals — no journals, no double-entry, no chart of accounts.
Review and submit
See exactly what will be sent. Confirm, and we submit to HMRC's MTD API with the required fraud-prevention headers.
Keep the record
Your submission payload, HMRC's confirmation, and a PDF snapshot are archived for 6 years in case HMRC ever asks.
MTDLite files what you give it. Nothing more.
We deliberately do not:
- ✕ Calculate your tax bill or suggest what to claim
- ✕ Submit your Final Declaration (year-end return) — that stays with your accountant or HMRC's free channel
- ✕ Import from spreadsheets or bank feeds — you enter totals directly
- ✕ Charge a monthly fee or lock you into an annual subscription
This isn't a limitation — it's what makes MTDLite affordable and not a tax-advice product.
