About MTD Compare

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax has been sold to UK taxpayers badly. Millions of sole traders and landlords are being told they must pay for third-party software to report their own finances — and most don't know that free options exist, including one from HMRC itself.

MTD Compare lists every HMRC-recognised MTD Income Tax tool we can find, with pricing, features and the honest pros and cons. Free options get listed alongside paid ones — we'd rather you pick the right thing than pick the profitable thing.

How we make money

Most providers have affiliate programmes. If you click through and sign up for a paid plan, we might earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. Our rankings and filters do not depend on who pays us. Free tools with no commission get listed on the same footing as paid ones.

What we're not

Not affiliated with HMRC, any software provider, or any accountancy firm. We don't give personalised tax advice. For that, talk to a qualified accountant or contact HMRC directly.
