HMRC-recognised for MTD ITSA
VitalTax
Bridging software that sits on top of an existing Excel workbook and submits the totals to HMRC, rather than replacing your bookkeeping.
MTD-ready since 1 April 2025 · Excel add-in
Its current entry first appeared in HMRC's software list data on 23 September 2022. See the HMRC list timeline for what that date means.
The situations where VitalTax is most likely to make sense
Confident spreadsheet users who do not want to move record-keeping into new software, and people looking for a very low-cost compliant route.
What the published plan prices look like
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Individual (1 NI number) | £2.50/mo | first submission free; then billed annually at £30 + VAT per year; covers all income sources and all submissions for one person |
A note before you decide
VitalTax is bridging software, so you keep your own records in a spreadsheet and it handles the HMRC submission. One £30/year licence covers every income source for one person, including jointly owned property and multiple businesses. It runs as an Excel add-in, so there is no standalone bookkeeping app. Its published information does not confirm holiday-let or legacy FHL handling, so Acrenvo does not recommend it for that requirement.
