Is Cledo Making Tax Digital compatible?
Yes. Cledo is HMRC-recognised MTD software that connects directly to HMRC's MTD APIs. Your records are digital by default, and submissions go straight to HMRC — no CSV exports or bridging software needed.
MTD for VAT (live now)
All VAT-registered businesses must file digital VAT returns. Cledo calculates your nine-box return from your ledger and submits via the MTD VAT API. Obligations, liabilities and payments are all tracked in-app.
MTD for Income Tax (April 2026)
From April 2026, sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000 must send quarterly updates to HMRC. While this primarily affects sole traders, Cledo's Personal Tax screen already supports SA100 data entry for directors with self-employment or rental income.
Digital record-keeping
MTD requires that records are maintained digitally and that there are digital links between your records and your return. Cledo's automated bookkeeping — bank feed → AI categorisation → ledger → return — satisfies this end to end.
