Where flonancial fits
The first MTD quarterly update for the 2026-27 tax year covers 6 April to 5 July 2026 and is due by 7 August 2026.
- Sole-trader self-employment and UK property businesses.
- Standard quarterly cadence for the 2026-27 MTD year, with the first quarterly update due on 7 August 2026.
- Straightforward income and ordinary expenses below £90,000 per source, using HMRC's consolidated-expenses route.
- Spreadsheet upload, total-cell selection, review, HMRC submission and downloadable receipts.
- A supported year-end tax-return journey for the same straightforward lane, with checks that divert wider cases before submission.
Accuracy guardrails
Where to use something else
flonancial is deliberately narrow. It should not be described as a full accounting platform or as suitable for every Self Assessment tax return.
- Category-split quarterly updates where a source is £90,000 or above.
- Foreign property, partnerships, capital gains, agent filing or accountant client access.
- Residential property finance costs and other special property fields.
- Calendar-period support as a promoted feature.
- Wider personal tax-return items, reliefs or charges that fall outside the current guided year-end lane.
