Sole traders
MTD is coming. Your spreadsheet can still be the centre.
Check when you are likely to start, prepare self-employment figures from the file you already use, and practice before it has to count.
- For freelancers & sole traders
- HMRC-connected bridge
- Not tax advice
- Request access while signups are closed
Most people like you start on Individual from £6/month when registration is open.
The friction
What usually gets in the way
Deadlines feel distant — until they are not
2026, 2027 and 2028 hit different income levels. Waiting creates panic.
You already track the year somewhere
Usually a spreadsheet. Starting a whole new app feels wrong.
You want a safe practice run
Trial Mode cannot live-file. Learn while stakes are low.
What you get
How QuarterLink helps
Free readiness check
Estimate your likely start year, then confirm on GOV.UK.
Self-employment workflow
Prepare supported figures through a spreadsheet path.
Simple pricing
From £6/month. Public signup is paused during the sandbox programme.

Recommended plan
Individual
Individual is the intended path for sole traders when public registration reopens.
£6/month
Registrations are paused — product work continues
QuarterLink is completing its HMRC sandbox programme for direct-taxpayer in-year quarterly bridging. New public accounts are not being created while that work is evidenced.
