What is suiteSheets?

suiteSheets is a UK-based, spreadsheet-first tool designed to help sole traders and landlords meet HMRC's Making Tax Digital requirements without using complex accounting software.

It allows you to keep your tax records in a spreadsheet, upload your data in Excel (.xlsx) or CSV format, and submit required updates to HMRC through MTD-compatible software when submissions are available.

If you already manage your finances in a spreadsheet, suiteSheets fits around that – not the other way round.
