Company details
Written by the company
aligned.tax is HMRC-recognised software for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, built for people who keep their records in a spreadsheet and want to carry on doing exactly that. From April 2026, sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000 must keep digital records and send HMRC a quarterly update instead of one annual return. The threshold drops to £30,000 in April 2027. Most people caught by this already track their income and expenses in Excel, and there is no good reason to make them abandon it. So here is how it works. You upload the Excel workbook you already use, or start from one of our free templates at https://aligned.tax/free-mtd-spreadsheet-templates. If your figures live in Google Sheets, Apple Numbers or LibreOffice, export the file to XLSX first. Our Smart Map then reads the workbook and proposes which of your columns belong in which HMRC boxes, coping with merged cells, unusual headings and a tab per property. You review the figures and approve them. Only then are they sent to HMRC through the official MTD API, so nothing reaches HMRC without your confirmation. The mapping is saved, so the next quarter takes less setup. This kind of tool is often called MTD bridging software. On cost: individuals filing their own quarterly updates use aligned.tax free, always. Accountants and bookkeepers filing on behalf of clients use it free until April 2027, with a multi-client dashboard showing who has filed and who is overdue, plus role-based access so a preparer can prepare without being able to submit. We are not accounting software and we do not give tax advice.

It picked up all the right numbers from my spreadsheet first time. I had to download my google spreadsheet as an xls version. Other than that all worked smoothly and was easy to follow. For free software this is excellent.

At last a company that provides a service
We have been struggling for months to establish just what our longstanding accounts software provider planned to offer to make us MTD compliant. With the deadline for the first quarterly submission looming we sumbled upon aligned.tax. What a a revelation. Within less than half an hour we managed to register and make our submission to HMRC. Fully compliant and happy.

I highly recommend aligned tax
I highly recommend aligned tax
Im not good with this kind of thing at all I was having panic attack after spending nearly all day trying to sort my digital tax out.
Aligned tax gave me success and relief as this was the 4th company I attempt to use and thankfully i found it very straight forward.
Thank you
