Capium Completes First Successful SA MTD Submission
[UK – August 2025] – Capium has confirmed that practices using its cloud platform have successfully completed their first Self-Assessment (SA) Making Tax Digital (MTD) quarterly returns for both UK Property income and Self-Employment tax as part of HMRC’s live pilot.
This achievement highlights not only Capium’s technical readiness for MTD for Income Tax (MTD IT), but also the ability of its accountant and bookkeeper clients to file seamlessly under the new requirements — well ahead of the April 2026 mandate.
A Defining Step Towards MTD for IT
The shift to MTD for IT is one of the most significant changes in UK tax reporting in decades. With quarterly updates due to become mandatory, early participation in the pilot is critical. By enabling firms to make successful submissions, Capium has shown how software and practice collaboration together can reduce disruption, ensure compliance, and give clients confidence during the transition.
This early success demonstrates the strength of Capium’s integrated approach: combining tax compliance, accounts production, bookkeeping, and practice management in one platform to streamline reporting and reduce the administrative burden on firms.
Leadership and Practitioner Perspectives
Tushir Patel, Co-Founder of Capium, said:
“These pilot submissions are a true testament to the dedication of both our team and our clients. From the very start, our mission has been to simplify compliance and empower accountants with the right tools at the right time. With these successful filings, we’ve proven that Capium is not only ready for MTD for IT, but also a trusted partner for practices leading the way into this new era of digital tax.”
Martyn Verity, Moorhurst Accountants, one of the firms involved in the pilot, commented:
“Having worked with Capium for many years, the product and team’s support remain outstanding. The challenges of MTD have been met head-on, and we are proud to have successfully filed and delivered our MTD returns ahead of the curve. Both the software and support have exceeded expectations. Capium is a strong partner for proactive accountants.”
This Matters for Accountants and Bookkeepers
For firms taking part in the HMRC pilot, the early filings provide valuable reassurance that:
- MTD compliance is achievable now – Pilot submissions show the process is already working.
- Quarterly updates are manageable – Capium’s platform integrates bookkeeping with tax to minimise workload.
- Client relationships are protected – Early adoption helps practices demonstrate readiness and build trust.
- A trusted partner is in place – Capium’s technology and support give firms the confidence to lead, not follow.
What’s Next
Capium will continue to support practices through the pilot programme, working closely with HMRC to ensure readiness across all income types. In the coming months, the company will:
- Extend quarterly update capabilities across all relevant income sources.
- Provide resources and training to help firms manage the MTD transition.
- Enhance its cloud suite — spanning tax, accounts production, bookkeeping, payroll, AML, and practice management — into a fully unified solution for practices.
