Everything HMRC requires,
in one place.
Tax Q does one thing — keep UK self-employed individuals and landlords compliant with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. Purpose-built for MTD ITSA, not retrofitted from a generic accounting suite.
Quarterly updates, sent straight to HMRC.
Quarterly updates, End of Period Statements and Final Declarations, all filed through HMRC's official MTD ITSA API. Fraud prevention headers (spec 3.3) on every call. Confirmation reference back in seconds.
Paper in. Records out.
Receipts, bank statements and mortgage interest certificates. OCR extracts the amounts, dates and categories, and links every figure to its source — exactly as HMRC's digital records rules require.
Never miss a deadline.
Reminders before every quarterly update window, End of Period Statement and Final Declaration deadline.
Know what you owe.
A running estimate of your income tax based on the figures you've logged this year.
Always audit-ready.
Every figure links to its source document. Five-year retention built in, in line with HMRC record-keeping requirements.
Built for MTD ITSA.
Not bolted on.
General accounting suites retrofitted MTD into products designed for something else. Tax Q does one thing — Making Tax Digital for Income Tax compliance — and leaves out the payroll, HR and inventory features you'll never need.
