Making Tax Digital

MTD for Income Tax.
What it changes, and where we fit.

Under MTD, HMRC asks for digital records of your income and expenses, quarterly updates and your tax return — all through compatible software. It already applies to qualifying income over £50,000 (from 6 April 2026), reaches £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028.

Reclaim Day does not file anything with HMRC. It does the part that comes first: it collects your invoices and receipts, reads the data and assigns HMRC SA103 categories. Export the data for your accountant or the software they use.

Dates: GOV.UK ↗

Questions?
Here are the answers.

Write to us →
Can I try it without an account?

Yes. The free check lets you add a photo of a receipt or a PDF invoice and see the data we extract. You do not need an account or an email address.

How is the free check different from a Free account?

The free check shows the result without an account. A Free account is a 14-day trial with a limit of 10 documents, and no card. The trial never turns into a paid plan by itself — when it ends you decide whether to pick a plan, and your data stays available. A paid plan renews monthly or yearly until you cancel it.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Use it in your browser or email documents to your own inbox address in the app. You can also add it to your phone’s home screen and use it like an app.

How do I share invoices with my accountant?

Connect your account to your accountant with one code. They see new invoices and receipts as you add them. You can switch sharing on or off at any time.

Can it read an invoice from a PDF or a photo?

Yes. It reads PDF invoices, including multi-page ones, and photos. With an account you can also add ZIP archives and email documents in. The free check accepts JPG, PNG, WebP and PDF.

Does Reclaim Day file MTD returns?

No. We organise and read your documents; you export the data for your accountant or for MTD-compatible software.

How do I get invoice data from a PDF into Excel?

Add the PDF invoice to your account, check the extracted data and export it to an Excel file or CSV. The free check lets you see the result first.

Do I need to check the results?

Yes. Automatic extraction saves you the typing, but the result can contain mistakes, especially from a blurry photo. Check the data before it goes to your accountant.

What about the privacy of my documents?

Documents saved in your account are stored encrypted. You decide whether your accountant can see them. Details are in the privacy policy.

Start with one invoice.

Try it on your own document. If you like the result, choose an account for everyday work.
