What FileThat is

You keep your income and expenses in FileThat, from a bank statement, a spreadsheet, a photo of a receipt or typed in, and send your quarterly updates, your final declaration and your VAT returns to HMRC from the same place.

It is priced per filing, not by subscription, and the income and expenses ledger is free all year. One credit covers one new quarterly update, or one VAT return that is not a NIL return. Nothing else uses a credit.

Every price is on the pricing page.

HMRC recognised

FileThat is HMRC recognised software for Making Tax Digital, and it is listed on GOV.UK's software finder for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

The finder lists software that can send Making Tax Digital updates and returns to HMRC. HMRC does not recommend one product over another, so compare what each one costs and does before you choose.

See FileThat on the GOV.UK software finder.

How our pages are checked

Every guide, claim page and trade page is written from HMRC's guidance on GOV.UK. Those pages and the feature pages list the GOV.UK pages they rest on at the foot of the page.

They show the date they last changed, as do the free tools and the pricing page. When HMRC changes a rule or a rate, the page that states it is updated and its date moves with it.

The free tools work from the same guidance. They give a guide from the figures you enter: HMRC decides from what you actually send.
