In their own words
BTCHub
BTCHub is cloud-based bridging software for accountants and businesses filing Making Tax Digital VAT returns with HMRC. It accepts Excel data and imports from bookkeeping systems, including CSV files, then validates return data and submits it in an MTD-compliant format. For Group VAT, it combines imports from multiple sources. Its dashboard displays clients, obligations, returns, payments, and receipts. Supported import routes include Excel, Sage, QuickBooks, Xero, VT, and CSV. Agents can complete HMRC authorisation online through BTCHub instead of using the former 64-8 form process. The product is listed for macOS, web, and Windows. The BTCHub annual licence costs £275 a year and covers HMRC MTD VAT filing, Group and consolidated VAT, and Excel and bookkeeping imports. Pricing is also available on request, with a 7-day trial. BTCSoftware advertises UK-based technical support, including phone support, at no extra charge; listed weekday hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, excluding public and bank holidays.
