Written by the company
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.

Very simple to use and navigate which is a massive relief for an old technophobe like me, especially as a sole trader and having to do everything, it is one (very big) thing less to be worrying about. I'm now confident about dealing with MTD and their customer service in replying promptly to questions is excellent.

Thanks so much for this - really means a lot, especially coming from someone who went in dreading the tech side of it. Making MTD feel manageable for sole traders like you is exactly the goal, so comments like this tell us it's working.
Glad the quick support helped when you had questions too. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.
Easy enough
Easy enough. Just remember to date each submission line (for income and expenses)

Thanks so much! Great to hear it's the easiest platform you've found for CIS subcontractor quarterly submissions - keeping things straightforward is exactly what we're going for. Really appreciate the review.
Very user friendly!
Really easy to set up, use, and to connect to HMRC - info transmitted immediately! Amazing that it's free for the first year, and then very affordable thereafter :)

Thanks so much! Great to hear setup and the HMRC connection were quick and easy. Really appreciate the review!
Excellant and Easy
I found Affordable MTD very easy to use. As someone completely new to Making Tax Digital, I was expecting the process to be complicated, but it was straightforward and quick to complete.
The software guided me through each stage, and once I understood how it wanted the information entered, the quarterly submission was simple. It connected to HMRC without any problems and the overall process was much less daunting than I had expected.
For landlords looking for an affordable and uncomplicated MTD solution, I would definitely recommend Affordable MTD.

Very good app for MTD
Very good app for MTD - however template needs a few tweaks to allow for mistakes to be rectified.

Thank you so much for your review - I'll reach out via email to get more information as I'd love to get the spreadsheet template correct for your next submission (and to fix it for everyone else)
Made life much easier than expected.
The software is very easy to use and the support desk is proactive, quick to respond and helpful. I thought that this transition to the HMRC "Making Tax Digital for Income Tax" would be a real grind, but Affordable MTD seem to have made it pretty straight forward.

Thanks so much for this - really glad it's made the MTD transition feel less of a grind than you expected! That's exactly what we're going for. And great to hear the support desk has been helpful too; we try hard to be quick and proactive, so your review means a lot.

Thanks so much for the kind review - really glad it's working well for you! Keeping it affordable is a big part of the plan, so comments like this mean a lot.

Affordable MTD made the process very simple and easy to follow compared to the larger accounting offerings some of which were not really free and you only discovered this when you got into the process. Affordable WTD were upfront on the cost which was as they say quite affordable.
