Questions

Frequently asked questions

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD ITSA) is an HMRC initiative that requires landlords and self-employed people with qualifying income to keep digital records of their income and expenses, and submit quarterly updates to HMRC using compatible software. It replaces the annual Self Assessment tax return with four quarterly submissions plus a year-end Final Declaration. MTD Bridge is HMRC-recognised bridging software that handles all of this for you.

If your gross income from property or self-employment exceeds £50,000 per year, you must use MTD-compatible software from 6 April 2026 (Tranche 1). Those earning over £30,000 follow from April 2027 (Tranche 2). Even if your income is below these thresholds, HMRC plans to extend MTD further — so starting early means you'll be ready. MTD Bridge is free for 1 property or income source.

For the 2026-27 tax year, the quarterly deadlines are: Q1 (6 Apr – 5 Jul) due by 12 August, Q2 (6 Jul – 5 Oct) due by 12 November, Q3 (6 Oct – 5 Jan) due by 12 February, Q4 (6 Jan – 5 Apr) due by 12 May. MTD Bridge tracks all your deadlines, shows countdown timers on your dashboard, and alerts you when a submission is approaching.

HMRC requires each quarterly submission to include cumulative totals from the start of the tax year (6 April), not just figures for that quarter. So your Q2 submission includes all income and expenses from Q1 + Q2. MTD Bridge automatically calculates cumulative totals for you — just record your transactions and we handle the maths.

Yes. MTD Bridge is HMRC-recognised Making Tax Digital bridging software. We connect to HMRC via their official Government Gateway OAuth system, submit quarterly updates through the Property Business API, include all legally required fraud prevention headers, and store full audit trails of every submission.

MTD Bridge is completely free for 1 property or income source — including full HMRC submissions, tax estimates, CSV import, and deadline tracking. If you have more properties or income sources, paid plans start at £6.99/month (Landlord, 2-5 properties), £12.99/month (Portfolio, 6-15), or £24.99/month (Professional, 16-50). Annual billing saves 20%.

MTD Bridge supports all SA105 income categories (rent income, premiums of lease grant, reverse premiums, other property income) and expense categories (premises running costs, repairs and maintenance, finance costs, professional fees, cost of services, travel costs, other allowable expenses). You can also use consolidated expenses if your turnover is under £90,000.

Yes. Your HMRC access tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest. We never store your Government Gateway password — authentication is handled entirely through HMRC's OAuth system. Your data is hosted on EU-based infrastructure and we comply with GDPR requirements.

Yes. MTD Bridge supports CSV import, so you can export transactions from your bank and upload them in bulk. The import tool helps you map columns to the correct HMRC categories, making it easy to bring in months of historical data at once.

Under MTD ITSA, late submissions may incur penalty points from HMRC. After accumulating enough points, you could face financial penalties. MTD Bridge helps you avoid this with dashboard alerts, countdown timers, and status indicators that make it clear when a submission is due.
