Our story

Tax, made hassle-free.

VaultMTD is a UK accounting platform built on one belief: bookkeeping, record-keeping and tax should be simple and honest. It is made for sole traders, landlords and the accountants who look after them.

Why we built VaultMTD

For many people, tax is the hardest part of running a business. It becomes a yearly rush: receipts in a drawer, spreadsheets that do not quite add up, and software that hides the numbers behind jargon and unexpected fees.

We believe it should be easier. We built VaultMTD so that you can keep your records with little effort, see your tax position update as you go, and submit to HMRC from the same place.

We designed VaultMTD to work with Making Tax Digital (MTD) from the start. It is built around live HMRC submission, not added afterwards. Your figures update as you record transactions, and for VAT returns you can open the working behind each box.

What we believe

Four principles we hold every feature to.

MTD-native

Built around live HMRC submission for VAT and Income Tax, not added afterwards. Your figures are ready for HMRC in real time.

Less manual work

Automatic categorisation, receipt reading (OCR), checks for unusual entries, and Vera, our assistant inside VaultMTD, handle routine work for you.

Radically transparent

For VAT returns, you can open the working behind each box. Your records are kept in a double-entry ledger, and changes are recorded in an audit history.

All-in-one

Accounting, VAT schemes, payroll, invoicing, Direct Debit and more, in one place.

The mark

Why a vault?

The VaultMTD mark is a vault door seen from the front. Your numbers deserve to be kept precise, secure and exactly where you left them.

  • Outer dial: a ring of evenly spaced marks that turns slowly clockwise. It stands for precision and time.
  • Inner dial: a finer ring that turns the other way. It stands for mechanism and care.
  • Lock bolts: three bars that stand for security.
  • The V: for Vault. Clean and geometric.
  • Steel-door profile: the cut-corner square frame of a real vault door.
