BookTidy MTD Bookkeeping Workbook 2026/27

A tidy Excel workbook for UK sole traders and landlords who want simple, organised records ahead of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

Log each sale, rent payment and expense once. BookTidy then sorts them into the right quarter and the right HMRC category, and totals them for you.

What's inside

• Income and expense logs with dropdowns for the official HMRC (Self Assessment) categories, plus checks for missing details
• Standard (6 April) or calendar (1 April) quarterly periods, with this year's dates and update deadlines filled in for you
• A quarterly summary with category totals and the year-to-date "3-line" totals (total income, total expenses, and residential finance costs kept separate)
• A threshold checker that works out your qualifying income, including part-year annualising and your share of joint property
• A year summary, a bridging-export view for each update, and a deadlines checklist
• A Start Here guide and worked example rows you can delete

Good to know

• A spreadsheet can't send anything to HMRC by itself. To send your quarterly updates you'll need MTD-compatible bridging software, which you can find with HMRC's software finder: gov.uk/guidance/find-software-that-works-with-making-tax-digital-for-income-tax
• This is a record-keeping and planning tool, not tax, legal or accounting advice, and it doesn't guarantee you'll meet HMRC's rules. It is based on GOV.UK guidance checked in November 2026. If you're unsure, check with HMRC or an accountant.
