  • TiraTax column:
  • v1 - Version 1
  • v2 - Version 2
  • Grey cross: not built and not in the plan
  • TiraTax's Income Tax and VAT filings run on HMRC's test service only.

Click a cell, or move to it with the arrow keys, to read the detail and the source.

  • Partly
  • Extra cost or another product
  • No: the package says so
  • Not found on their public pages
  • TiraTax does it today; at most three packages have a clear yes

Where TiraTax does it for customers today and at most three of the 15 packages have a clear yes: Client portal and document exchange; Engagement letters and e-signature; Plain-English HMRC errors and checks. Others may cover part of it, as an add-on, or we did not find it.

Method: each package's own public pages (features, pricing, plan tables, help articles, security page) and GOV.UK's software lists were read on 30 September 2026. Some pages would not open, so a few cells rest on search results. "Not found" means we did not find it, not that it does not exist. Packages change, and some features sit in higher plans or add-ons. Product names belong to their owners and TiraTax is not connected to them. If you see a mistake, e-mail us and we will check it.

What is inside

Books that prepare the return

Keep your records once. Reports and the VAT return build from the same ledger.

Capture

Receipts in, books built

Upload photos, PDFs or spreadsheets. AI reads each one and suggests a category. You confirm or change it.

Control

You review before you submit

A quarterly update cannot be sent while a transaction in that period is unconfirmed. Auto-approve and automatic payroll submission are optional and stay off until you turn them on.

Security

Key secrets are encrypted

National Insurance numbers and HMRC tokens use AES-256-GCM.

How it works

Three steps, receipt to review

  1. Add your records

    Upload receipts, invoices and bank statements.

  2. Review your books

    AI reads each document and suggests a category. You confirm or change it. A quarterly update cannot be sent while a transaction in that period is unconfirmed.

  3. Review and submit

    TiraTax prepares the return from your records. You check each figure and confirm before a return is sent. For customers, submission runs against HMRC's test service today.

See it work

Four filings, recorded in HMRC's sandbox

Each recording ends with HMRC's test service accepting the submission. The data in them is test data.

HMRC sandbox · test data
MTD ITSA Income Tax

A sole trader checks the quarter, runs the readiness checks and submits the second quarterly update. HMRC's test service accepts it.

Recorded in HMRC's sandbox, which is HMRC's test service, with test data. The app's sidebar still shows its earlier name, Tiraverse MTD. The MTD ITSA Income Tax clip runs on a set date and the VAT clip uses HMRC's 2017 test quarter.

Security

Four protections, built into the app

Each one is in the app today.

  • AES-256-GCM encryption

    National Insurance numbers, HMRC tokens, Gateway credentials and two-step secrets are encrypted inside the application.

  • Two-step sign-in

    Authenticator codes with recovery codes. Optional for each person, and required when an organisation sets that policy.

  • An audit log the app cannot edit

    Many actions are written to an append-only log. The application has no way to edit or delete an entry.

  • You confirm before you submit

    A quarterly update cannot be sent while a transaction in that period is unconfirmed. Automatic payroll submission is optional and off until you turn it on.

Questions

Straight answers

What TiraTax does today, and what it does not do yet.

Can I join today?

Not yet. TiraTax is in early access by invitation. Request access and we will reply by e-mail.

Is TiraTax recognised by HMRC?

Not yet. TiraTax is completing HMRC's recognition process. We only describe software as HMRC recognised once that recognition is granted.

Does TiraTax file to HMRC today?

Not for customers yet. MTD ITSA Income Tax, VAT and payroll run against HMRC's test service for customers, and Corporation Tax (CT600) filing is switched off. We will say here when that changes.

Does TiraTax use AI?

Yes, to read documents and suggest categories. Document images, spreadsheet contents, bank statement lines and transaction details are sent to AI providers to do this. A quarterly update cannot be sent while a transaction in that period is unconfirmed. Auto-approve is optional and stays off unless you turn it on.

What does Making Tax Digital for Income Tax require?

From 6 April 2026 it applies to qualifying income over £50,000 in 2024 to 2025, from 6 April 2027 to income over £30,000 in 2025 to 2026, and from 6 April 2028 to income over £20,000 in 2026 to 2027. You keep digital records, send quarterly updates and submit your tax return, the final declaration.

Read the rules on GOV.UK

Which plan do I need?

The individual plans are coming soon. Practices we invite to early access can use the free Bridging plan for up to five clients. During early access no feature is held back by plan: every tier has the same product and unlimited staff. Prices may change while we are in early access.
