mtd bridging software, not sure if switching is worth it or if bridging is the smarter move (UK)
been self employed for a few years now and my accountant has been nudging me to sort out my mtd setup properly before it becomes an issue. currently on sage but honestly i only use a fraction of what it does and the cost feels hard to justify for what is essentially just me filing vat returns and keeping basic records.
been reading about bridging software as a middle ground because i don't really want to migrate everything if i can just connect what i already have to hmrc directly. not sure if that's actually the right call for a sole trader or if it creates more hassle down the line than just switching to something built for mtd properly from the start. would love to hear from anyone in a similar setup who has gone through this decision and whether bridging worked out or if they ended up switching anyway.
