Clear Books Becomes the First Fully HMRC-recognised MTD for Income Tax Software
Clear Books today announced that it is the first Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax software to be fully recognised by HMRC for both quarterly updates and end-of-year MTD submissions.
This milestone confirms Clear Books’ position as a frontrunner in the government’s digital tax transformation – giving UK sole traders, landlords, and tax agents confidence that they can keep digital records and file all required MTD submissions using Clear Books’ HMRC-recognised system.
Why it matters
From April 2026, MTD for Income Tax will be mandatory for self-employed individuals and landlords earning over £50,000, extending to £30,000 in April 2027. HMRC recognition confirms that Clear Books has passed all functional and technical standards for both quarterly and annual submissions – a critical assurance for accountants and bookkeepers preparing clients for compliance.
“Clear Books is proud to be the first software fully recognised by HMRC for MTD for Income Tax,” said David Carr, Head of Product at Clear Books. “This gives accountants, bookkeepers and taxpayers confidence that they can meet all MTD obligations – from quarterly updates to the end-of-year submission – with one trusted platform.”

- Quarterly updates and end-of-year MTD Income Tax returns
