The wait is over. Today, Dext Solo was accredited by HMRC as compliant for MTD IT. This marks a milestone in Solo’s development, and signals a clear direction of travel for the accountants and bookkeepers who currently (or plan to) use our product.
As HMRC explains, if a solution is to make it onto that list it must be able to:
Create and store digital records of your business income and expenses
Send quarterly updates
Submit your tax return by 31 January after the end of the year
Receive information from HMRC
As we mentioned, this is big news for us – but how does Solo being accredited by HMRC benefit you and your clients?
Above all, Dext’s place on HMRC’s list of accredited software providers affirms our position and ambition in this particular space. And for you, it provides concrete reassurance that you’re partnering with a software that’s going places.
Compliance is, of course, the main driving force behind MTD IT. By design, Solo has always been specifically for MTD IT. But now, with official recognition, you can be fully confident that you’ll help to keep your clients compliant when using our product.
Very soon, there will be a large number of unincorporated, non-VAT-registered, self-employed and landlord clients looking for accountants and bookkeepers to help them with MTD IT. This number will only increase once the income threshold is lowered to £20,000 by the end of the current parliament. Firms with an accredited solution will be able to position themselves far more favourably.
Whether you’ve started your plans for MTD IT – or you’re waiting for the right moment – now is the perfect time to get ahead and make your transition to quarterly reporting as smooth as possible. To help you get started, we’ve created an essential guide on everything you need ahead of April 2026.
