Making Tax Digital software for the self-employed

Last updated: 20 July 2026

SelfSubmit is UK SaaS for Making Tax Digital (MTD) income and expense record-keeping, built for sole traders and similar self-employed businesses.

The company was founded in Exeter, Devon, by a self-employed taxi driver with experience in cybersecurity and software development. SelfSubmit addresses a gap observed in practice: many existing MTD products resemble full accounting suites, which is more capability than most sole traders need for digital income and expense records.

SelfSubmit was created as a focused alternative — structured monthly recording, profession-specific categories, and a path to HMRC quarterly updates — without requiring users to adopt a full accounting package.

Why SelfSubmit?

SelfSubmit is designed for self-employed people who need a clear process to prepare monthly income and expenses for Making Tax Digital.

Profession-focused forms guide income and expense entry so records can be maintained without learning a full accounting product.

Features are prioritised around what most sole traders need for MTD readiness: accurate records, receipt evidence, and quarterly update preparation — not unused modules aimed at larger organisations.

Whether you operate one business or several, SelfSubmit supports organised records and efficient preparation for reporting deadlines.
