MTD Income Tax
Check eligibility, keep records, derive cumulative quarter figures and inspect the sandbox submission path.

Nothing moves without your eyes and consent.
Start from reviewed records, inspect every derived figure, approve the exact action, and keep the authority's receipt. TaxSorted is not yet recognised for production filing: the live submission paths remain HMRC sandbox practice, clearly labelled at every step.
01 · Words with exact meanings
“Filed” is not one state.
Prepared
The figures and payload are ready for your review. Nothing has been authorised.
Approved
You deliberately approved the exact action and information shown.
Submitted
The exact approved payload reached the authority submission service, proven by a conclusive transport response. A click or pre-send failure is not submitted.
Delivery unknown
An attempt ended without proof of delivery. It is not submitted, accepted or safe to retry blindly.
Received
The authority returned an acknowledgement tied to the exact payload. Its meaning still needs to be read.
Accepted
The authority explicitly accepted the return or update represented by that payload.
Rejected
The authority did not accept it. The reason, response and original payload remain connected.
Settled
Payment, repayment or closure of the balance is evidenced. Merely knowing the amount is not settlement.
Corrected
A later amendment or challenge stays connected to the original receipt.

Planning scenarios never enter this spine silently. Once you act, the resulting real-world evidence joins through the Evidence door like every other record.
