FAQ

Common questions

What is Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?

MTD ITSA requires self-employed individuals and landlords with income over £50,000 to keep digital records and send quarterly updates to HMRC, replacing the annual Self Assessment tax return.

Do I need to leave my spreadsheet?

No. Our bridging import lets you upload a CSV from any spreadsheet and converts it into an HMRC-compliant quarterly submission automatically.

Can I use ArcTax alongside my accountant?

Yes. Your accountant can use the Agent Portal to manage your filings on your behalf, or you can share access to your workspace.

What income sources are supported?

ArcTax supports self-employment, UK property (FHL and non-FHL), foreign property income, savings & interest, and dividends — covering the full MTD ITSA scope.

Is ArcTax recognised by HMRC?

Yes. ArcTax connects directly to HMRC's MTD APIs using the official OAuth 2.0 authorisation flow, making it fully HMRC-recognised software.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — you can sign up and connect to HMRC immediately at no cost. Billing only starts when you're ready to submit.
