Tax Amigo is a fully recognised HMRC Making Tax Digital software provider. Connect your HMRC account and submit quarterly updates, VAT returns, and Self Assessment filings directly — no third-party bridging software required.
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC's initiative to modernise the UK tax system. It requires businesses and self-employed individuals to keep digital records and submit tax information to HMRC using compatible software — like Tax Amigo.
MTD for VAT has been mandatory since April 2019 for most businesses. MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) is being rolled out from April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with income over £50,000.
