How to choose

  • Covers your income. Check it supports sole trader, UK property or foreign property income, whichever you have.
  • Does both jobs. Some products only send quarterly updates. You also need to submit your tax return, in the same product or a second one. GOV.UK says you can use more than one product, but only one for each submission.
  • Fits your records. Want to keep spreadsheets? Pick bridging software. Starting fresh? Pick software that creates records (bank feeds, receipt scanning or manual entry).
  • Matches your accounting period. If your year runs 1 April to 31 March, filter for calendar update periods.
  • Other needs. VAT registered? Check MTD for VAT. HMRC Assist flags possible mistakes in your return.
