HMRC’s software list says Abridge covers sole trader and UK property income and can send your tax return. What HMRC’s list says
Who Abridge suits
Landlords and sole traders who already keep their records in Excel or Google Sheets and want to carry on, people with several properties or income sources who want one low yearly price, joint owners who each file from their share of the records, and spreadsheet users whose accountant would like to review the figures before they go to HMRC.

Good to know
Abridge reads the totals from your own spreadsheet and sends them to HMRC, so you keep doing your bookkeeping in Excel or Google Sheets and Abridge handles the filing. Its one paid plan, Full MTD Coverage, costs £39 a year including VAT and covers quarterly updates and the final declaration with unlimited income sources and properties. Abridge also has a free plan, but it covers the final declaration only for one income source and cannot send quarterly updates, so we leave it out and do not show a free MTD option. Abridge says joint owners can each file from their share of the records, and that your accountant can have read-only access without paying for their own subscription. Abridge says it never connects to your bank, and we did not find mileage tracking, receipt capture or anything about furnished holiday lets. HMRC's software list shows a mobile version, but Abridge's own pages describe an Excel add-in, a Google Sheets add-on and a web upload, and we did not find a phone app. The same plan also covers MTD for VAT returns, since it lists VAT registrations alongside Income Tax and Abridge describes its service as Income Tax and VAT filing. We checked this on 2 November 2026.
