MTD for Income Tax software directory (A to Z)
The short answer: this is an alphabetical list of every product HMRC's software finder showed for sole traders and landlords when we checked on 18 October 2026: 159 products in total. For each one we've copied what the finder says: whether there's a free version, whether it creates records or bridges from spreadsheets, what it can submit, and which income sources it covers. HMRC says "All software has passed HMRC's recognition process", but it "does not recommend any specific product" (HMRC software finder). We don't rank or recommend products either, and we haven't tested them.
General information, not tax advice. Check the provider's own site and HMRC's finder before you choose. Listings change often.
How to use this directory
- Work out what you need to submit. Every quarterly update has to cover all your MTD income sources: self-employment, UK property and foreign property. You also need a way to submit the tax return (GOV.UK).
- Filter by income source. A landlord with overseas lets needs "Foreign property" in the income sources column.
- Check the "Submits" column. "Quarterly updates" alone means that product can't (yet) submit the tax return, so you'd need a second compatible product for that step (GOV.UK).
- Check the type. "Bridging" products connect to records you keep elsewhere, such as a spreadsheet. See Can I keep using spreadsheets for MTD?
- Confirm on the day. Use HMRC's finder for your exact answers, and the provider's site for prices and limits.
What the columns mean
- HMRC price flag: the finder labels each product "Free version" or "Paid version", and has a "free version" filter. "Paid version" doesn't rule out free trials, so check the provider's site. HMRC says free products may have limits, such as a cap on transactions (GOV.UK). See free MTD software.
- Type: "Creates records" means software you keep your digital records in. "Bridging" means software that connects to records you keep elsewhere. Some products are both.
- Submits: whether the finder lists the product for quarterly updates, the tax return, or both.
- Income sources: the MTD income sources the finder lists for the product.
- Our guides: pages where we quote the provider's own published information (prices, limits). It's blank if we haven't covered the product yet.

Products listed only in the finder's agent view
HMRC's finder also has a view for agents (accountants and bookkeepers). On 18 October 2026 it listed 100 products. These 14 appeared in the agent view but not in the sole trader or landlord view: AccountsPrep by Sage, Acting Office - Tax and Accounts, Bright, CCH iFirm MTD for Income Tax, CinchFlow, Dext Solo, Digita Personal Tax, Filed Quarterly, IRIS Accountancy Suite, IRIS Elements, MTD Assist, Q Tax Agent, Streem Connect, Taxpad (HMRC software finder). If you use an accountant, they may use one of these on your behalf.
Things to check before you choose
HMRC's guidance lists what to consider (GOV.UK):
- Does it cover every income source you have, plus any other income you put on your tax return?
- Does it submit the tax return, or only quarterly updates?
- Does it support your accounting period? Standard update periods are the default. Calendar update periods are an option for some.
- Can your agent use it, if you have one?
- Can you export your records? You have to keep digital records for at least 5 years after the 31 January deadline (GOV.UK).
- If you use more than one product, are they digitally linked (GOV.UK)?

Frequently asked questions
Does every product here do everything I need?
Not necessarily. Some products only send quarterly updates, and some cover only certain income sources. HMRC says your software must support all your income sources, and you may need more than one product (GOV.UK).
Why isn't a product I've heard of listed?
The list changes as products pass or join HMRC's process. Use the finder's "check if my software is compatible" option to look up a named product (HMRC software finder). Spreadsheets on their own (Excel, Google Sheets and so on) aren't enough: HMRC's finder says you'd need additional software that connects to them.
Does "free version" mean free forever?
Not always. The finder only flags that a free version exists. Check the provider's own terms for limits and for what happens after any introductory period. See free MTD software.
Are the products in random order on HMRC's site?
Yes. HMRC says results "are shown in random order for fairness" (HMRC software finder). We've sorted them alphabetically so you can find a name.
