Hi, I'm Rob — a self-employed musician, IT consultant and part of a small serviced accommodation business in South Wales. Which means I file the same Self Assessment return you do, and Making Tax Digital lands on my desk too.

Tax genuinely confuses me. When I tried to work out whether MTD applied to me, I found jargon everywhere, blogs that contradicted each other, and official pages I couldn't get through. So I did what I do professionally — I'm an IT consultant, making complicated systems simple is the day job — and built a system straightforward enough that even I couldn't get lost in it. MTD Sorted is that system: one pathway, in order, with dates, in plain English.

I run TechDog (techdog.co.uk), an IT support and consultancy business, and I believe the same thing about tax admin as I do about technology: it should work for people, not the other way round.

If anything in the kit isn't clear, email me at hello@techdog.co.uk — I answer personally. And if it isn't useful to you, you get your money back within 14 days, no interrogation.
