QuickFiles Free MTD

Support
1

Hi,

I have just signed up to quickfiles for the upcoming MTD and I was informed by HMRC this is a free app to use for landlords.

I have connected and allowed my HMRC account via connect to Quick Files but when I click on workflow it askes me for 60 quid to buy the MTA self assessment filing? Is this correct? If so please let me know as I will look for another software as I am a landlord who does not earn enough to justify 60 quid for software.

Please can someone let me know

The price page says that MTD vat bridging and itsa are both features of the paid tiers. QuickFile Pricing

Which I am not using for it’s purely for landlord submission of statements quarterly all good will go with a other provider

Hello @chander.bhandari

For MTD ITSA submissions a power user subscription is required (landlord submissions)

Thanks Steve, I would highly recommend you guys contact the .gov website and let them know your software is not free of charge to use as this is how it is being marketed.

All good I have found another provider who’s app is free and HMRC compatible. Thanks

Also confused by this.

I signed up for “QuickFiles Free MTD’ as Sole Trader, guided by HMRC site.
Spent some time setting up the MTD link, customers, invoices, email, etc.

Today the MTD dashboard Status was still blank.
Eventually I found this Support thread.

Looks like ‘MTD ITSA’ for Sole Traders is not in the free edition.
New process, new acroynms, confusion.

Shall I find and set up another provider’s HMRC compatible and free account?
Or ‘just pay up for QuickFiles Large and get over it’?
Decisions.

Annoying.
The joy of no longer being ‘eligible’ for Class 4 NI now diluted by more HMRC hassles and confusion.

Hello @FvNwcBmYZ0T

From April 2026 a power user subscription is required for MTD ITSA . It was free for the 2025-2026 HMRC pilot

Once you have registered with HMRC for MTD ITSA you can connect your HMRC MTD ITSA account in the Reports > HMRC Connections screen.

Hi Steve I have been using QuickFile for VAT MTD for a few years. It has been free to use. My settings show that I am a small user. My income for property and self employment is less than £90,000 so I will not have to submit detailed expenses each quarter but just a single figure. QuickFile’s pricing chart suggests that it is free for “small users”. However, when I now try to input income and expenses for property and self employment, it request me to pay £60. Is this correct even for a small user?

Unfortunately it’s not free ( even though the .gov website says it ). I have found a better and free app called Taxheaven which is free to use and is enough for what you need to do.
