Ready to use now, the software automatically tracks and stores all business income and expenses. It provides real-time estimates of what you\u2019re likely to owe, giving you greater visibility of your tax position over the year. Tide also has a linked Tax Account where you can put money aside for payments. <\/p><p>We particularly like that the account connects seamlessly to HMRC so that you can submit your returns directly from your Tide app. <\/p><h4>Monzo<\/h4><p>Monzo\u2019s Making Tax Digital software allows you to file directly to HMRC, categorise transactions, attach receipts and save for tax during the year. Monzo will also let you to add activity from other accounts. <\/p><p>If you\u2019re willing to pay a monthly fee for Monzo\u2019s Business Pro or Team plans, then you\u2019ll also be able to automatically put a percentage aside for tax every time you get paid into one of its Tax Pots. <\/p><h4>Starling<\/h4><p>Starling\u2019s Making Tax Digital tool is available and integrated into its sole trader account. The tool automatically categorises your transactions and submit your updates directly to HMRC. <\/p><p>Its sole trader account also has receipt capture capabilities, and you can put money aside for taxes in one of Starling\u2019s Spaces.<\/p><div class=\"fin-video fin-video--horizontal\" data-player-type=\"youtube\" data-video-id=\"3O1FNmpXjYI\" style=\"\">\n    <div class=\"fin-video__container\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fin-video__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/3O1FNmpXjYI\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-fallback-sd=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/3O1FNmpXjYI\/sddefault.jpg\" data-fallback-hq=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/3O1FNmpXjYI\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                            <div class=\"fin-video__duration\">4:26<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"fin-video__play-btn\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Play video\"><\/div>\n                <iframe allow=\"autoplay\" class=\"fin-video__player\" id=\"ytPlayer-3O1FNmpXjYI\" title=\"Video player\"><\/iframe>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<h3>MTD accounting software<\/h3><h4>Sage<\/h4><p>Sage\u2019s free MTD accounting software can be connected to 1 bank account. You\u2019ll be able to add your income and expenses information from different sources like bank feeds, receipt capture and manual entry. These are then automatically categorised by Sage and made into digital records ready for MTD updates. <\/p><p>You\u2019ll also have visibility of your tax liability with up-to-date estimates, so you\u2019ll be able to plan ahead. Sage\u2019s software is also designed so you can manage it yourself or share it with an accountant to review before making your final payment. <\/p><h4>FreeAgent<\/h4><p>Another standalone accounting software, FreeAgent\u2019s end-to-end MTD solution is HMRC-recognised and ready now. It\u2019s free for clients with Mettle, NatWest, RBS or Ulster Bank accounts, but it can also be connected to other banks to import transactions automatically. <\/p><p>It offers automatic categorisation and uses Open Banking to collect data from bank feeds. It\u2019ll also let you submit quarterly updates and file final declarations directly to HMRC. <\/p><h4>QuickBooks<\/h4><p>QuickBooks uses AI to scan your bank feeds and automatically suggest tax categories and highlight duplicate expenses. It has real-time tax projections you can view via a dashboard and a tool which cross checks you data against HMRC\u2019s specific rules to flag any potential errors before submission. <\/p><p>However, unlike Tide and Sage, there isn\u2019t a free option available \u2013 although you can take advantage of a free trial for 30 days. <\/p><h4>Xero<\/h4><p>Xero\u2019s MTD software lets you draft, test and submit returns directly to HMRC. Its dashboard will give you live data and recommend matches for reconciliation. Several business bank accounts integrate with Xero\u2019s accounting software, so your transactions can be imported and categorised, to give you an up-to-date view of your tax liability. <\/p><p>There\u2019s no free option available, but Xero does have 4 different pricing plans depending on what features you need. <\/p><h3>What\u2019s the difference between a business bank account and accounting software?<\/h3><p>A business bank account actually holds your money and facilitates transactions, while accounting software is there for a record of your transactions and analyses the data for tax reporting. <\/p><p>If you\u2019re looking for the easy option, then look at getting a business bank account with MTD-compliant accounting software built in. This will keep everything in one place and reduce your admin time. Not many business bank providers offer this. Currently, Tide, Starling and Monzo are the providers that have MTD tools available.<\/p><h3>HMRC-recognised software catering to sole traders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<style>.tableuxinput1_exclude,

Unless we've said otherwise, products are in no particular order. The terms \"best\", \"top\", \"cheap\" (and variations of these) aren't ratings, though we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it.
