How it works
Simple & Compliant.
You already track your sales somewhere. SimpleTaxLink turns that into an official HMRC submission — in four simple steps.
Connect Your Sheet
Paste your Google Sheets link, map your columns once, and you're done.
We Validate Everything
Errors caught before they reach HMRC — missing income, date gaps, wrong figures.
One-Click Submit
Send your quarterly update straight to HMRC via the official MTD API.
Deadline Reminders
We'll ping you before each quarter closes so you're never caught out.
Features
Built for people HMRC software forgot
You're not a big business. You just want to stay compliant without drowning in jargon or paying £100/month for bloated tools.
Transparent Submission Tracking
Every quarterly submission archived with a timestamped receipt. Your full history in one place — ready if HMRC ever asks.
Seamless HMRC Connection
We connect directly to the official Making Tax Digital API. Your data is sent securely over HTTPS and nowhere else.
Smart Error Detection
We validate your figures before anything is sent. Missing income, wrong dates, impossible totals — caught before submission.
Quarterly Deadline Reminders
Automated email nudges before each MTD deadline so you never file late.
Pre-Flight Validation
A final checklist review before you click submit — confidence, not guesswork.

Free exists. Here's why it's not enough.
HMRC offers a basic free tool. It costs you time, risks costly mistakes, and leaves you guessing how much tax you owe. Here is the full picture.
HMRC free tool
45+ mins
Manual portal entry every quarter
SimpleTaxLink
~2 mins
Google Sheet connected, one click submit
That is 43 minutes back every quarter — 172 minutes a year. Spend it on your business, not on government portals.
One mistake on HMRC's portal could cost you more than SimpleTaxLink does in a year
- Late submission penalty: £100 minimum fine for missing a quarterly deadline
- Incorrect figures: HMRC can issue penalties of up to 30% of unpaid tax for careless errors
- Missed expenses: every expense you forget to claim is money HMRC keeps that should be yours
SimpleTaxLink validates your figures before anything is sent, reminds you before every deadline, and walks you through your expenses with a pre-submission checklist. For £29 a year it is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy.
All of this from £29/year — less than £2.50 a month
Less than one coffee. More than enough to stay compliant.
