HMRC Compliance filing submissions

[daveh001]

Hi QF

Is QF going to be able to be compliant for accounts submission, which is going to be a requirement in the next couple of years? I know QF does the VAT, which I already use, but when I checked the ‘Compliant accounts software’ list on HMRC, QF wasn’t listed?

Hello Dave

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax and Self Assessment (ITSA) will be rolled out in two phases -

From April 2026, for those with qualifying income over £50,000
From April 2027, for those with qualifying income over £30,000
HMRC Link

The income that will be inscope for filing quarterly updates will be that derived from self employment and property income (e.g. landlords).

HMRC is running a voluntary pilot scheme that will extend up until April 2026.

We are now in the final stages of development and will likely be in a position to onboard users who want to join the scheme later in the year. We have so far held off as there have been significant changes to this scheme along the way and we really wanted to focus on building a solution that will align to MTD ITSA in its final form.

As we get closer to the release date we will notify users and provide further guidance on how they can enroll with HMRC on the pilot.

If you want to get a general feel for how Periodic Updates will work, you can experiment with our beta MTD Update report in “Reports” >> “Other”.

Hi Steve,

It was for a Limited Company I was asking rather than self employed…?

Hello Dave

We’re aiming to support as much of the MTD functionality as possible, as and when the details are released by HMRC.

Unfortunately MTD has been quite fluid over the last few years so we can’t guarantee anything at this stage, but as and when things are finalised, we’ll update everyone on our forum

Hopefully HMRC will keep on pushing back the MTD start date like they have the last few years!

I have used BC Easyfiler. Their website is at THIS link A one-off submission has just risen from £15 to £18. Their price list is at THIS link. I send in my spreadsheet and he does the calculations and iXBRL tags. Then I click and submit. Hope this helps!
