Record income and expenses and submit quarterly updates to HMRC, with Clear Books. For free.
HMRC is replacing the traditional annual Self Assessment with a new system of digital record-keeping and quarterly updates. If you're a sole trader or landlord above a certain income threshold, you'll need to use HMRC recognised software. Clear Books is that software, and for most people, it's free.
Whether your income comes from self-employment, property, or both, we've made it straightforward to sign up and stay compliant.
Record business income and expenses and submit your quarterly updates to HMRC, completely free.
Sign up as sole trader →Track property income from UK or overseas lets, manage expenses, and submit compliant MTD returns to HMRC, without paying for software.

No upgrade walls when it comes time to file. Everything below is included in the free plan, for sole traders and landlords alike.
No timer. No sneaky upgrade wall the moment you try to file.
No tricks.
The new MTD rules will catch a lot of sole traders and landlords off-guard. We didn't want cost to be the reason someone misses a deadline and picks up an HMRC penalty.
So we built a permanently free plan with everything you need to stay compliant. If you outgrow it, say you need VAT filing or payroll, our paid plans start at £5/month.
Sign up in two minutes and be ready to submit your first quarterly update when it arrives. Sole traders and landlords both welcome, with a separate free account for each income type.
