HMRC-recognised for MTD ITSA
Bosh
A phone app for sole traders, written with tradespeople in mind, that connects to a bank through Open Banking, sorts transactions into HMRC categories and sends MTD quarterly updates. A higher plan adds MTD for VAT returns.
iOS / Android
Its current entry first appeared in HMRC's software list data on 31 July 2026. See the HMRC list timeline for what that date means.
The situations where Bosh is most likely to make sense
Sole traders in the building trades who would like their bank transactions sorted for them, subcontractors on the Construction Industry Scheme who want CIS tracked on the Bosh+ plan, and VAT-registered sole traders who want Income Tax and VAT updates in the same app.
What the published plan prices look like

|---|---|---|
| Bosh (quarterly updates only) | £3.99/mo | £3.99 a month excluding VAT; a free trial is offered; includes bank sync, HMRC filing, tax estimates, automatic expense sorting and unlimited invoicing; property income was not mentioned |

| Bosh VAT (quarterly updates only) | £11.99/mo | £11.99 a month excluding VAT; adds MTD for VAT returns, quarterly VAT filing and VAT scheme support |
A note before you decide
HMRC's software list data shows the year-end return as intended, not yet available (commit 8f43c40, checked on 27 September 2026). Bosh's MTD page describes sending the quarterly updates from the app and says you still finalise the year separately, so each plan is named as quarterly updates only. Bosh's pages are written for sole traders; property income was not found on the pages checked, and HMRC's list does not show UK property income for this product either, so the plans are marked as unsuitable when property income is in the picture. All prices are stated as excluding VAT. Bosh+ adds CIS and Bosh VAT adds MTD for VAT returns. The app is offered through the App Store and Google Play; a web version was not found on the pages checked. Receipt capture, mileage tracking, accountant access and furnished holiday let handling were not found on the pages checked and are not claimed.
