Affordable MTD is HMRC-recognised software for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD ITSA), built for sole traders and landlords who need to file quarterly updates and their final declaration without learning a full accounting system. The product covers self-employment income and UK property income, letting you enter transactions manually or import them from a spreadsheet, with AI-assisted categorisation to speed up the tedious part. Everything you submit goes straight to HMRC through the same MTD API used by every other approved provider, so you're never filing anything unofficial. Affordable MTD is free for the 2026-27 tax year, then £19.99 a year from April 2027, with no hidden charges and no long-term contract. Your card is only taken at your first submission, and you won't be charged until billing actually starts. It's built and run by a small UK-based team rather than a large team, which keeps the product focused: no invoicing, no payroll, no features you don't need for MTD compliance. That also means support replies come directly from someone who understands the product inside and out, not a ticketing queue. Affordable MTD is listed on GOV.UK's official software finder and holds HMRC production approval as part of Nesbitt Web Ltd. If you're a sole trader or landlord looking for a straightforward way to stay compliant without overpaying for software you'll barely use, this is built for exactly that.

Early on only, and things can change, but so far I would v much recommend this for any sole trader or landlord with simple finances looking for a simple, easy to use solution for MTD. I have looked at others and been overwhelmed by the platform and jargon and options. This one is just what I need, nothing more or less. A relief to have found it. Currently it is free. Pay from April 2027.

Does what it says on the tin and connects perfectly to HMRC. The price is right too

Excellent and easy software . Good Price after 1 year free. Other MTD software tried to sell two subscriptions for self employed and property.!

I used this as a private landlord. Simple to set up, easy to use, fast to get results and combined with your agentic AI of choice to populate the required transactions into a spreadsheet there really is no reason not to use it. That is before we get to the great value compared to other platforms taking advantage of the MTD rush.

Chose Affordable MTD as they are upfront with cost.
Their template is useable to submit the very few figures HMRC require.

I'm really chuffed with just how simple this package is. It's helped me get through the first MTD submission and I'm feeling confident about going forward. I like the way you can save your progress and go back to it. It's very easy to use and practical for non tech people like me with simple accounts.

It was unbelievably easy. For a small soul trader like myself, this is all that I needed. Thank you for the easy experience.

After the initial registration and understanding how the link works with HMRC it was a relatively easy process. What would be helpful is the categories to be explained before you start entering the expenses. Also has slight mismatch between my private spreadsheet totals and what was shown on MTD by a few pence which was difficult to analyse and wondered whether it’s the rounding up of their figures were different to actual costs that I had entered as per instructions.

Looked at alternatives and this is both affordable and relatively easy to use. Just dont add symbols or headings in your spreadsheets. The csv xls upload makes it quick once we get the hang of it.

I actually tried 4 other free software providers but they either could not bridge from my spreadsheet or left out essential expenses. There was a similar issue here too but they gave me a super simple easy manual option which I used to submit successfully. That’s why i am rating 4 stars also because they required my credit card to give me advice I already knew.

It’s a good service and it’s helped me out a lot

I left a review earlier this week, querying whether Jason was an ai chap or human being. He is a human being. I don’t want to be harsh about this company who are trying to offer a solution to the wretched Make Tax Digital campaign by HMRC, at a very decent price and without demanding advanced accounting skills. They largely succeed, but I wonder whether a ‘user group’ might be helpful. Give them a try. I am now using them.
