Release Notes: Integration with Acxite for MTD VAT & IT Filing

Published: 23-Aug-2025

We are pleased to announce a new integration between Receipt Bot and Acxite Accounting Software. This integration is designed for UK accounting firms to provide an end-to-end solution for Making Tax Digital (MTD) VAT and Income Tax Self-Assessment (ITSA) filing.

✨ New Features

Prepare Income Tax Returns with Acxite using Receipt Bot

With this integration, accounting firms can now offer their clients a complete compliance journey:

  • Upload bills, receipts, invoices, and bank statements into Receipt Bot, where data is automatically extracted and sent to Acxite.
  • Any missing transactions can be added manually in Acxite, ensuring client records are always complete.
  • Acxite’s Tax Summary page consolidates all data into a clear view, enabling firms to review Income Tax returns before filing.
  • Acxite is available as a free platform to prepare and file VAT Returns and Income Tax Returns in line with HMRC MTD requirements for all Receipt Bot users at the moment.

This integration transforms Receipt Bot into a streamlined, end-to-end digital solution, helping firms save time, reduce manual errors, and deliver added value to their clients.

What’s Next?

Soon, firms will also be able to connect directly with HMRC, select reporting periods, and file IT returns electronically from within Acxite.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

  • Improved validations: The system was not displaying validations on the Purchase details and grid upon load, and the validations would only appear upon user action, such as export/approve.
  • Documents Stuck in Exporting: In some cases, the documents became stuck in the exporting stage, and the user was unable to proceed with them.
  • QBO Disconnection: In some cases, the businesses were disconnected from QBO.
