Why accountants choose Ftax

Priced for a client list, not a subscription

MTD for Income Tax adds four filings a year to every affected client. Ftax prices that as credits you buy once, so the cost of compliance stays predictable across the whole portfolio.

One credit, one client, one year

A credit covers all four quarterly updates and the end-of-year return for that client. Nothing extra falls due in January.

Bulk pricing for agents

20 credits for £150 plus VAT. Every third bundle of the same product is free, so 60 credits cost £300.

 

Keep your spreadsheets

Import client income and expense figures by CSV from your own spreadsheet, or record them in the Ftax Cashbook.

HMRC recognised

Ftax has been recognised by HMRC for online tax filing for over 20 years, across Self Assessment, VAT, CT600 and MTD.

Built for multi client filing

Run MTD across the whole client list

Ftax was built for practices filing on behalf of others. Client details, credits, invoices and submission data all sit in one Ftax Account, and every successful submission is archived against the client.

Two routes, depending on how the client keeps records:

Your own spreadsheet

Export income and expense totals as a CSV file and import them straight into the quarterly update form.

Ftax Cashbook

Record transactions in the Cashbook and the totals carry through to the quarterly update form. Agent Cashbook credits start at £12.50, or 10 credits for £100.

Before you commit

How the pricing models differ

Most of the cost of MTD for Income Tax is decided by how your software charges, not by how the filing works. It is worth checking the year-end position before you sign anything.

Ftax for agents

✓ One credit covers the full tax year
✓ Quarterly updates and year end included
✓ 20 client credits for £150
✓ Every third bundle is free
✓ Import client figures by CSV
✓ Refunds given without question

Other providers

  • Pricing is often per client, per month
  • Year-end filing may cost extra
  • Bulk discounts are not always offered
  • Some products file quarterly updates only
  • Spreadsheet imports can be limited
  • Annual contracts may be required

Based on common market packaging for UK tax software. Always check individual providers for details. HMRC notes that some recognised products send quarterly updates only, and that you should check whether a product also submits the tax return.

Customer Feedback

Using your Ftax products here (especially now it’s the webform version) genuinely makes things much simpler for us. Plus having real human beings to contact when we do need to check something is reassuring. So thanks again for the excellent service and your help today.

Hi Trace, successfully submitted this morning. Thanks as always for your help. I kept putting off using the web form and it was so much easier than I thought it was going to be.

The Ftax software is “brilliant”, and I would never consider going anywhere else. The design of the web forms are intuitive and easy-to-use, even for a technophobe like me. They are a big improvement on the PDF forms.

I bought your software a couple of days ago to file my SA800 … I am very happy with the process and outcome and your speed of response … … I shall certainly be using your software for my personal self assessments.

I have been submitting tax returns via Ftax for the past fifteen years, and this has been the easiest, and

Your web forms (Partnership and SA100) are easy to navigate – the website works well, and it just eases the burden … … like I imagine everyone else – I am on your site only once a year – its an enjoyable enough experience. So, thank you.

FAQs

Common Questions

Is Ftax recognised by HMRC for MTD for Income Tax?

Yes. Ftax has been recognised by HMRC as a supplier of online tax filing software for over 20 years, and the MTD for Income Tax forms are built to HMRC’s MTD requirements. Only recognised software can be used to send quarterly updates.

What does one credit cover?

One credit covers one client for one tax year. It includes both the quarterly update form and the end-of-year form, so there is no separate charge when the year-end filing falls due.

When is the first quarterly update due?

7 August 2026, covering 6 April to 5 July 2026.

The remaining deadlines for 2026/27 are 7 November 2026, 7 February 2027 and 7 May 2027, with the tax return due by 31 January 2028.

What happens if a client misses the August deadline?

HMRC has confirmed that no penalty points will be issued for late quarterly updates during the first year of MTD for Income Tax. The updates still have to be submitted before the tax return can be completed, and penalties continue to apply to late returns and late payments.

Which of my clients are in scope?

Clients whose combined gross income from self-employment and property was above £50,000 came into MTD for Income Tax from 6 April 2026. The threshold falls to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. Employment, pension, savings and dividend income does not count towards it.

Can I use the spreadsheets I already have?

Yes. Income and expense figures can be imported into the Ftax forms from your own spreadsheet by CSV file, or recorded in the Ftax Cashbook if you would rather keep everything in one place.
