Everything you need to know about using Vecti for your self-employed tax.
Who is Vecti for?
Vecti is built for UK self-employed sole traders and CIS subcontractors, with add-on support for VAT and property income. It's not for limited companies, payroll, or landlord-only users.
Does Vecti work with Making Tax Digital and HMRC?
Vecti is compatible tax software built for HMRC's Making Tax Digital — it is not HMRC-endorsed. It connects through HMRC's official APIs so that, where the feature is enabled for you, your self-employment quarterly updates and VAT returns can be submitted from Vecti.
Can I submit my own VAT returns and quarterly updates?
Where it's enabled and you're connected and ready, you can submit VAT returns and MTD quarterly updates yourself from Vecti, and Vecti checks the figures first. The final year-end declaration is designed to be handled by an accountant.
Do I need an accountant to use Vecti?
No — you can run your day-to-day tax yourself. If you want one, you can connect your own accountant in Vecti, and accountant discovery is offered where it's live in your version. They review your records and handle year-end on your behalf.
Is my tax figure the same as HMRC's?
Vecti's tax figure is a live estimate based on your income, expenses and mileage using current rates and allowances. It's for guidance and may differ from HMRC's or your accountant's final figures.
Is my data secure?
Your data is encrypted in transit and stored securely, and your accountant only sees what you give them permission to see.
