untied review
Guided tax filer · by untied · HMRC-recognised
The UK's original MTD-recognised personal tax app: a mobile-first way for the self-employed and landlords to tag income and file. The Pro plan adds full Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.
Our verdict
untied was the first end-to-end app HMRC recognised for Making Tax Digital, and it shows: a polished, mobile-first personal tax app that lets the self-employed and landlords tag transactions and file without a spreadsheet in sight. The Pro plan is the one that does MTD for Income Tax. It isn't the cheapest route — there's no free filing tier — but if you want an app-led experience with VAT-inclusive, no-surprises pricing, it's a strong pick.

Pros & cons
What's good
- The original, well-established MTD-recognised personal tax app
- Mobile-first, with transaction tagging rather than spreadsheets
- Covers self-employment and property (plus capital gains and multiple employments)
- VAT-inclusive pricing, so there's no VAT added at checkout
What's not
- No free filing tier — the trial is test-only, and filing needs a paid plan
- MTD for Income Tax requires the dearer Pro plan, not Lite
- App-led approach won't suit committed spreadsheet users
Who it's for
- People who want a mobile-first personal tax app
- Self-employed and landlords who want guided, app-led filing
…and who should look elsewhere
- People who want the cheapest possible way to file
- Spreadsheet diehards, for whom a bridging tool is cheaper
- Anyone looking for a genuinely free option
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the free trial files for real — a paid plan is required to submit
