Does the MTD job on my phone

Receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right. It detects trips and I just swipe to say business or personal.

Pros

Receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right.

Cons

You outgrow it the second you register for VAT or incorporate.

Receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right. Only real gripe is that the AI features are labelled beta and feel like it.

Good for the self employed

The Self Assessment view maps to the boxes so January is calm now. Quarterly updates went to HMRC with no fuss at all.

Pros

The Self Assessment view maps to the boxes so January is calm now.

Cons

There is no balance sheet, my accountant still does the year end.

Everything is on the phone, which suits how I actually work. Only real gripe is that reporting is thin beyond income and expenses.

Does the MTD job on my phone

Quarterly updates went to HMRC with no fuss at all, and it detects trips and I just swipe to say business or personal. No complaints so far.

Pros

Quarterly updates went to HMRC with no fuss at all.

Cons

No free tier, so Sage looks cheaper if you barely drive for work.

Simple, and it files

Everything is on the phone, which suits how I actually work, and receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right. You outgrow it the second you register for VAT or incorporate, but we live with it.

Mixed. The automatic mileage tracking has paid for the subscription many times over, but you outgrow it the second you register for VAT or incorporate.
