What Is MYT?
What Is MYT?
Boost The Efficiency Of Your Accounting Processes With MYT Bookkeeping
MYT (mytsoftware.co.uk) is a cloud-based AI-powered bookkeeping and accounting platform built specifically for small and micro businesses such as builders, plumbers, electricians, health and beauty professionals, contractors, and freelancers. Founded by a team with deep experience in accounting, software development, and AI technology, MYT's core mission is to eliminate manual data entry and make bookkeeping and tax compliance stress-free for business owners who have neither the time nor the accounting background to manage their finances manually.
MYT is HMRC-recognised for Making Tax Digital and handles VAT returns, quarterly updates, and Self Assessment filing. Its headline feature is award-winning AI expense capture: users simply photograph a receipt on their mobile phone and MYT's AI reads, extracts, and categorises the expense automatically. Bank account integration pulls income and expenses directly into the platform via open banking, removing the need to re-enter bank statement data.

Making Tax Digital Compliance
How MYT Handles MTD Compliance
MYT covers sole trader income for MTD purposes, with quarterly updates and final declarations supported. Its AI-powered bookkeeping automates much of the record-keeping process — transaction categorisation, receipt extraction, and bank reconciliation — ensuring digital records are maintained in a format HMRC requires. However, MYT does not appear on HMRC's recognised list for foreign property income under MTD ITSA. Landlords who earn from overseas property would need a separate platform to cover that income stream. MYT also does not support agent filing — submissions must be made directly by the user.
| Feature | MYT |
|---|---|
| HMRC Recognised (MTD ITSA) | Yes |
| MTD Quarterly Updates | Yes |
| Final Declaration | Yes |
| Digital Record Keeping | Yes |
| Digital Links Compliant | Yes |
| Sole Trader Income | Yes |

| Foreign Property Income | No |
| Multiple Income Streams | No |
| Agent Filing on Behalf | No |
Property Management
MYT: No Property Management Capability
MYT was not designed for landlords and does not include property management features. There is no property portfolio tracking, no tenant management, no rent tracking per property, no joint ownership or profit-splitting, no compliance document alerts, and no HMO support. MYT's focus is entirely on bookkeeping and accounting for general small businesses. Landlords who use MYT would need a separate property management tool alongside it — adding cost and complexity.
| Feature | MYT |
|---|---|
| Property Portfolio Management | No |
| Tenant Management | No |
| Rent Tracking | No |
| Property Expense Allocation | No |
| Multiple Property Support | No |
| HMO Property Support | No |

| Tenant Screening | No |
| Compliance Document Alerts | No |

Bookkeeping, Accounting & Digital Record Keeping
MYT: AI-First Bookkeeping for General Small Businesses
MYT takes an AI-powered approach to bookkeeping: bank feeds automatically import transactions, and AI categorises expenses with minimal manual input. The platform generates profit & loss statements, balance sheets, and trial balances. It also includes multi-currency support — a feature RentalBux currently lacks. However, MYT uses generic business accounting categories rather than landlord-specific SA105/SA106 mappings. This means landlords using MYT would need to manually ensure their expense categories align with HMRC's property income categories — adding complexity and risk of miscategorisation.
| Feature | MYT |
|---|---|
| Cash Basis Accounting | Yes |
| Chart of Accounts (Pre-built, Landlord-Tailored) | No |
| Journal Entries | No |
| Bank Reconciliation | Yes |
| Automated Bank Feeds | Yes |
| Open Banking Integration | Yes |
| Double-Entry Bookkeeping | No |
| HMRC Box Pre-Mapping | No |
| Xero Integration | No |
| Spreadsheet Import/Export | Yes |
| Digital Record Storage | Yes |
Invoicing, Expense Tracking
MYT: Award-Winning AI Expense Capture for Small Businesses
MYT's headline feature is its award-winning AI expense capture: photograph a receipt and MYT automatically reads, extracts, and categorises the expense. Bank feeds pull transactions directly from connected accounts. Invoices can be created and sent with BOPP instant payment links. MYT also includes GPS mileage auto-tracking — a valuable feature for tradespeople who drive between jobs — and CIS contractor statement management. However, MYT's expense categories are generic and not optimised for property allowable expenses.

Unique Features Only MYT Offers
CIS Contractor Statement Management
MYT supports Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) contractor statements — an essential feature for builders, subcontractors, and tradespeople working under CIS.
GPS Mileage Auto-Tracking
MYT automatically records mileage via GPS as users travel between jobs or sites. Mileage can be claimed as an allowable business expense against sole trader income. MYT's GPS-powered automation is particularly valuable for tradespeople covering multiple sites daily.
Multi-Currency Support
MYT supports multi-currency transaction recording and reconciliation with real-time exchange rate conversion — useful for small businesses dealing with international clients or suppliers.
BOPP Instant Payment Integration
Invoices created in MYT include BOPP (Bank of Payments Protocol) instant payment links, allowing clients to pay immediately upon receipt of an invoice. This reduces debtor days for sole traders billing clients regularly.
Mini Stock / Inventory Management
MYT includes basic stock and inventory management for small businesses that carry materials, supplies, or products.
Third-Party App Integrations
MYT integrates with QuickBooks, CRM platforms, BOPP, and other accounting tools, enabling businesses to connect MYT to their existing technology stack.

Freelancers and Contractors
Freelancers billing multiple clients, managing expenses across different projects, and tracking mileage between work locations will benefit from MYT's invoice creator, GPS mileage tracking, and BOPP payment integration.
Small Businesses with International Clients
The multi-currency support with real-time exchange rate conversion makes MYT a practical choice for small businesses dealing in foreign currencies.
Businesses Already Using QuickBooks or Other Tools

Small Business Owners Prioritising Mobile-First Simplicity
