Why Tax Q
Three things that matter when HMRC comes knocking.

Everything you need to know about Tax Q and Making Tax Digital.
MTD is HMRC's initiative requiring landlords and sole traders earning over £50,000 to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates. From April 2026, this is mandatory for qualifying taxpayers.
No. Tax Q is designed so you can submit your own quarterly returns without an accountant. However, if you have an accountant, they can also use Tax Q on your behalf.
Yes. Tax Q is designed to meet HMRC's MTD for Income Tax requirements. It connects to HMRC via their official API and submits quarterly updates and final declarations on your behalf.
Sign up, connect your HMRC Government Gateway account via OAuth, add your properties, and submit your first quarterly update — all from one dashboard.
HMRC may charge penalties for late submissions. Tax Q helps you avoid this with automatic reminders 7 days and 24 hours before each deadline.
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We connect to HMRC via their official OAuth API, and we never store your Government Gateway password. Tax Q is fully GDPR compliant.
Yes, you can cancel at any time from your dashboard settings. There are no cancellation fees or long-term contracts.
You can upload PDFs, JPEGs, and PNGs up to 10MB each — receipts, bank statements, mortgage interest certificates, letting agent statements, insurance documents, and any other records relevant to your tax return.
Yes. When you upload a document, our OCR engine extracts key information like amounts, dates, and descriptions. For bank statements and mortgage certificates, we parse the data and let you import transactions directly into your return.
Tax Q retains your documents for the HMRC-required minimum of 5 years after the submission deadline for the relevant tax year. You'll be notified before any documents become eligible for deletion, and you can extend retention or download everything at any time.
Yes. The audit-ready export generates a ZIP file containing all your documents for a tax year, a summary PDF of all income and expenses, and a CSV of all transactions — everything you'd need if HMRC opens an enquiry.
Tax Q is a software tool, not a tax adviser. You are responsible for the accuracy of your submissions to HMRC.
MTD is mandatory from April 2026
