What is Kontala?

Kontala is AI-powered Making Tax Digital (MTD) VAT software for UK small businesses. It connects to your accounts, keeps an eye on your VAT position in real time, and files MTD-compliant VAT returns directly to HMRC. In short: VAT returns that more or less file themselves.

What Kontala does

• Tracks your VAT position in real time. As money moves through your accounts, Kontala keeps a running view of what you owe and what you can reclaim.
• Prepares your return for you. It categorises transactions, flags anything unusual, and explains the numbers in plain English.
• Files directly to HMRC. When you are happy, one tap submits an MTD-compliant return with a full audit trail.

Making Tax Digital is HMRC's programme for keeping and submitting VAT records digitally. You can read HMRC's overview on Making Tax Digital for VAT.

Who it is for

Kontala is built for VAT-registered sole traders, freelancers, and small limited companies who would rather not wrestle with spreadsheets or expensive, complicated accounting software.

What you will need

• A VAT-registered UK business.
• Somewhere your transactions live: a FreeAgent account, a bank feed, or a CSV export.
• A few minutes to sign up.
