Review your quarterly summary
TaxNav summarises your income and expenses for each quarter, no detailed transactions are sent to HMRC. Review the figures, and see your estimated tax bill in real time.
Submit to HMRC
When you're ready, submit your quarterly update directly to HMRC through TaxNav. If you need to make any income/expense refinements, you can do these in the next quarter’s submission. At year-end, add any final adjustments (dividends, bank interest, etc. ) and file your final declaration.
What goes into each submission?
Quarterly updates (x4 per year)
Year-end final declaration – we guide you through this
Is TaxNav right for you?
Self-employed
Freelancers, consultants, tradespeople, contractors, side businesses — if you file Self Assessment for self-employment income, TaxNav handles your MTD IT submissions.
Landlords
UK property, foreign property, or both. One TaxNav licence covers all your rental income. No separate accounts needed.
Self-employed AND landlord
Got income from both? No problem. TaxNav supports any combination under one account — self-employment, UK property, and foreign property.
CIS construction workers
TaxNav retrieves your CIS deductions directly from HMRC. Always know what's been deducted to ensure it’s claimed back.
Also have PAYE income?
If you have employment income alongside self-employment or property, you'll see that at year-end in your final declaration. TaxNav guides you through it.
Income under £50,000?
MTD IT won't be mandatory for you until April 2027 (£30k+) or April 2028 (£20k+). But you can start using or practising now to be ready.
Managing MTD IT for clients?
TaxNavHQ is our solution for accountants and bookkeepers.
Keep using your spreadsheet
Add your income and expenses
Most MTD IT software products want you to abandon your spreadsheet and learn their system. TaxNav works differently.
Add our import worksheet to your existing file. Your income and expense summaries flow straight into TaxNav — ready to submit to HMRC with compliant digital links.
No migration. No retraining. No starting from scratch.
