Free HMRC check FAQs
Is the HMRC eligibility check really free?
Yes. Signing up, connecting to HMRC for the check, and completing the quiz are free. We do not take card details for this flow — it is designed so you can understand your obligations before you decide anything else.
What happens after I finish the quiz?
You will see a clear summary of what likely applies to you under MTD — for example VAT filing, Income Tax digital updates, or neither yet — and suggested next steps inside fixdd. You can explore features or come back when you are ready to act.
Do I need to file a return immediately?
No. The check is about clarity, not pressure. You will see deadlines and recommendations based on your answers; you choose when to start recording transactions or filing in the app.
Is my data safe when I connect to HMRC?
We use HMRC’s official authorisation process. Your credentials are handled by HMRC where required; fixdd only accesses what you approve for MTD-compatible software. Treat your Government Gateway details like any sensitive login.
How long does the whole process take?
Most people complete signup, HMRC connection, and the quiz within about ten minutes — the quiz itself is roughly two minutes. If you need to find your Government Gateway details first, allow a little extra time.
