About TaxNav
Written by the company
HMRC-recognised Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Software · Get started for free/strong>
TaxNav is HMRC-recognised software for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, built for the self-employed, landlords with property income, retired people still filing on property or investment income, and CIS subcontractors in construction. Use it yourself or run it alongside your accountant; either way, we guide you through your quarterly updates and end of year submission step by step. No jargon, no last-minute scramble. We call it Guided Submission. Lots of happy users tend to call it a relief.
| Guided, not just software Navi walks you through set-up and submission, then hands you to a human if you need one |
Get started for free Get set up and try TaxNav before you commit a penny |

What you can count on
- ✓ HMRC-recognised: built specifically for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, not retrofitted from something else
- ✓ Flexible data entry: connect your existing spreadsheet, enter manually, or link other feeds
- ✓ Guided by Navi: our AI assistant takes you through set-up and submission in plain English
- ✓ Human backup: Navi hands off to real people the moment you need one
- ✓ Works with accountants: use it yourself, or alongside the accountant you already have
- ✓ Get set up for free: see if it fits before you pay anything
Who it's for
| The self-employed | Sole traders and subcontractors filing quarterly for the first time. Most tell us they expected a nightmare and got a straightforward form instead. |
| Landlords / property income | Rental income only, single or multiple lets. TaxNav keeps the whole thing to a few short steps. |
| Retired, with property or investment income | Filing under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax doesn't stop at retirement age if the income qualifies. TaxNav treats it the same whether it's your only income or one of several. |
| CIS and construction | Subcontractors under CIS still file quarterly for Income Tax. TaxNav handles the reporting without you having to untangle CIS deductions yourself. |
| The spreadsheet-loyal | Already tracking everything in Excel? Upload it as-is; we won't make you re-enter a year of numbers by hand. |
| The dreading-it crowd | If it feels like standing on a cliff edge, that's the review we get most often. Navi's whole job is talking you off it. |
Works with your accountant too
TaxNav isn't only for people going it alone. Accountants can use TaxNav directly with clients, or clients can run it themselves and share access with their accountant at year end. Either way, nobody's re-entering the same numbers twice.
Built to lower the stress, not just process the numbers
Every TaxNav submission follows the same guided flow, whether it's your first quarterly update or your fourth. We've built it around the moments people actually get stuck: connecting a spreadsheet, understanding what counts as an expense, working out what "quarterly" even means for a mid-year start. Where the software can't answer it, a person can.
Tax shouldn't be taxing
We built TaxNav on a simple belief: filing under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax shouldn't be confusing enough that people get sold something they don't need just because they don't fully understand what's actually being asked of them. For many people, simple spreadsheet submission is all they need; 5 minutes every few months will keep them tax compliant.
We're a small team; when you email us, a real person who understands your account replies.
Frequently asked questions
| Who is TaxNav for? | Anyone filing under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: the self-employed, landlords with property income, retired people still filing on qualifying income, and CIS subcontractors. |
| Is this the same as Making Tax Digital for VAT? | No. TaxNav covers Making Tax Digital for Income Tax only. |
| Do I need to give up my spreadsheet? | No. Connect your existing spreadsheet, enter data manually, or link other feeds; whatever you're already using. |
| What is Navi? | Navi is TaxNav's AI assistant. It guides you through set-up and submission, and passes you to a human if you need more help. |
| Can my accountant use TaxNav too? | Yes. Use it yourself, hand it to your accountant, or share access so you're both working from the same submission. |
| What if my property/expense categories don't match HMRC's exact wording? | We're actively refining our category descriptions to map more closely to HMRC's own ITSA terms, so year-end reconciliation is easier. Flag any mismatch to support and we'll sort it. |
| How much does it cost, and can I cancel? | Start for free 30. Get setup, get ready and get sure before you pick one of our subscriptions. Cancel any time. |
| What happens if I get stuck? | Navi guides you first; if that's not enough, our human user support team takes over. |
Thanks for taking the time to get to know us.

Recurring problems in getting code to log in
It is very basic and hence easy to use but I have had occasions when it is not possible to log in because they have to send an SMS code before you can log in. Today I tried 20 times and still no code. This happened a few weeks ago as well. It is annoying because I don't have that many free evenings to do my taxes
Their chat box says there is an option to use Authenticator instead of SMS but you can only do that on the initial set up and that's a bit late to know
Also because it is very basic, you need to type every entry every time . Would have preferred a list where you can set up your template entries like "Rent from Flat 1 23 Ocean Road" or "Ground rent and service charges" and just click to make an entry

Does what I need
I have property income and use the bridging element of the TaxNav software. I started using TaxNav on HMRC's MTD pilot programme in April 2025. I adapted my spreadsheets to produce quarterly figures and tied these in to TaxNav's upload spreadsheet. TaxNav has worked fine, when I have had any queries then TaxNav have responded promptly. I had made an error in my classification of one expense; correcting it was straightforward through TaxNav. I've just uploaded my non-property income for 2025/26, submitted that to HMRC through TaxNav and finalised that tax year. Pleasingly, the tax owed calculated by HMRC and TaxNav agrees to my calculations so I am happy with it.

Stress Over!
I was very stressed leading up to the first MTD deadline, it was the ‘not knowing’ and ‘not fully understanding’ even after joining a handful of HMRC webinars. It was like standing on a cliff edge but not wanting to jump! Once I jumped and the verification came from HMRC I was over the moon. TaxNav is simple, intuitive AND very well priced imo.

Tax Nav's MTD for ITSA suited me best.
Tax Nav's MTD for ITSA suited me best.
I did not want a bridging solution ,but wanted to add my data directly into the software.
The TAX NAV software is easy to use and data can be amended easily if necessary. My Q1 submission to HMRC by tax nav was easy.
I have given the software 4 stars instead of 5 as tax nav should have described the revenue and expense for property categories exactly as HMRC does with the relevant ITSA paragraph numbers so that reconciliation to the final end of year ITSA would be easy ,but their descriptions are different .
I have addressed the need for an update for this with TAX NAV.
