  • Rent-a-Room scheme support (£7,500 threshold)
  • Replacement of Domestic Items Relief (RDIS)
  • Property loss carry-forward ledger

Everything your accountant
would want you to have

CloudTax covers the full MTD for Income Tax journey — from your first quarterly update to your Final Declaration.

📊

Live Tax Estimate

See a running calculation of your tax liability after each quarterly submission, powered by the HMRC Individual Calculations API.

🏦

Open Banking Feed

Link your business bank account once. CloudTax pulls transactions automatically and categorises them for HMRC submission.

Deadline Notifications

Push reminders at 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before each quarterly deadline and Final Declaration. Never miss a submission.

📱

Home Screen Widget

Live tax estimate, next deadline countdown, and quarterly progress at a glance — without opening the app. Three widget sizes.

📄

PDF Export

Generate a professional quarterly or annual summary PDF — including reliefs, Section 24 treatment, and tax breakdown — to share with your accountant.

🎯

Annual Return Ready

Savings interest, dividends, Gift Aid, pension contributions, marriage allowance, and HICBC all captured for your Final Declaration.

From bank feed to HMRC
in four steps

CloudTax handles the entire MTD process so you can focus on your work.

1

Connect your bank

Link your business account via open banking. CloudTax fetches transactions automatically every day.

2

Review & categorise

Transactions are auto-categorised. Review any flagged items and correct the handful that need a human eye.

3

Submit quarterly

One tap sends your cumulative figures directly to HMRC via the MTD API. Confirmation arrives in seconds.

4

File your return

Add any other income and reliefs, review your tax calculation, and submit your Final Declaration — all in the app.

Built for the new rules. Ready from day one.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax becomes mandatory in April 2026 for those earning over £50,000. CloudTax implements every part of the HMRC API specification — including fraud prevention headers, cumulative quarterly submissions, and the Individual Calculations engine.

Your bank talks to CloudTax. Not HMRC.

Bank connections use FCA-regulated Open Banking — the same standard used by major UK accounting platforms. Your bank credentials never touch CloudTax servers.

🔗

One-tap bank connection

Authenticate directly with your bank. Consent lasts 90 days with automatic renewal prompts before expiry.

Real-time transaction sync

Transactions appear in CloudTax within minutes. Up to 7 years of history available on first connection.

🏷️

Smart categorisation

Transactions are automatically mapped to HMRC expense categories. Manual overrides are remembered for future transactions.

🔒

Read-only access

CloudTax can only read your transactions. It has no ability to initiate payments or move money.
