Questions about switching

Can I switch to Pulse partway through the tax year?

Yes. When you join, you can add the earlier months of the tax year, so the whole year sits in Pulse ready for your updates and tax return.

I’m already in Making Tax Digital. What happens to my updates?

Each quarterly update is a running total from 6 April. Once your records are in Pulse, your next update covers the year so far, whichever software sent the earlier ones.

Is Pulse recognised by HMRC?

Yes. Pulse is recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, and our HMRC reference is D5P1NR. More about our HMRC recognition

How do you keep these comparisons fair?

We use each company’s own website, link to the pages we used, and show the date we checked. Prices and plans change, so if you spot something that’s out of date, let us know and we’ll put it right.
