Making Tax Digital

Making Tax Digital client records for accountants

Last updated: 4 June 2026

MTD expands record-keeping duties for many sole traders and landlords. Use repeatable checklists and secure uploads so clients submit receipts, bank data, and summaries on time.

ComplyChase AI helps track documents, expiry dates, reminders, uploads, and proof. It does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or compliance advice. Final responsibility remains with the business, accountant, adviser, or authorised user.

Real-world example

Before each quarterly period ends, a bookkeeper sends one upload link listing bank CSVs, sales invoices, and expense receipts — then reviews missing items without re-reading email chains.

Problem

Why firms search for making tax digital client records accountants

Clients still send records in ad-hoc email threads.

Quarterly deadlines create repeat chasing every three months.

Proof of what was requested is scattered across inboxes.

Firms lack one view of missing MTD-period files.
