ANNA Money Wins HMRC Approval for Making Tax Digital, Launches Free Auto Accountant Tool
2-min read

ANNA Money, the AI-powered business account and tax app, has officially been certified by HMRC as a compatible software provider for Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax — clearing the way for its 100,000+ UK business customers to submit quarterly tax filings directly through the platform.

The timing is critical. From 6 April 2026, sole traders, freelancers and landlords earning over £50,000 must ditch annual Self Assessment filings and switch to quarterly digital submissions using HMRC-approved software. It's a major administrative shift — and one that's left many small business owners anxious about the transition.

ANNA's platform tackles this head-on: once users sync their bank accounts, the AI automatically categorises transactions, maintains digital records, and prepares quarterly MTD submissions with minimal manual input.

What's New

  • HMRC-certified for MTD Income Tax Self Assessment

  • Quarterly filings submitted directly to HMRC via the app

  • AI auto-categorises transactions and keeps digital records

  • New Auto Accountant tool covers Corporation Tax, VAT and MTD-ready Self Assessment

  • Auto Accountant is free for MTD Self Assessment filings throughout 2026/27

Eduard Panteleev, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of ANNA Money, said: "Today's HMRC approval is a huge vote of confidence in ANNA Money. While many SME owners and sole traders are still feeling uncertain about MTD, we're making sure cost and complexity don't stand in the way of growing their businesses."

With the April deadline fast approaching, ANNA's free, fully automated offering positions it as a strong contender in an increasingly competitive MTD software market.
