Scotland's games + life sciences capital — DD1 freelancers in MTD scope and a thin local SERP. From 6 April 2026 every Dundee sole trader and landlord earning £50,000+ must submit quarterly to HMRC. We do all of it — setup, software, quarterly filings, year-end. £495 one-time + £150/mo.
CGMA-qualified · 24 years professional finance · Single named accountant
Dundee punches well above its population: the University of Dundee Life Sciences cluster is one of the densest biomedical research bases in Europe, the city's games heritage (Rockstar North precursor DMA Design, plus today's Realtime Worlds diaspora and Abertay graduates) produces an active indie-studio and contractor scene, and the V&A Dundee anchors a creative + design freelancer pool. SRIT applies. The MTD ITSA SERP for Dundee is empty — no incumbent ranks, which is unusual even for a smaller city.
Same prices wherever you are in the UK — no premium for Dundee sole traders.
We configure everything. You file the submissions yourself.

6 April 2026 if your qualifying income exceeds £50,000. The threshold drops to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. Dundee-based sole traders and landlords are caught identically to the rest of the UK — HMRC applies the same rules.
All four quarterly submissions, the year-end Final Declaration (with year-end adjustments rolled into it), monthly bookkeeping (up to 200 transactions/month), one VAT return per quarter if applicable, and email/Slack support with one-business-day response. Single CGMA-qualified accountant handles your account end-to-end.
Yes. Platform sales revenue (Steam, App Store, Google Play, itch.io, Epic) is self-employment income and feeds into the same quarterly MTD ITSA submission as any service revenue you also earn. FX timing matters for USD payouts — we set the FX rule at setup so quarterly revenue isn't debated each period. SRIT applies to your final tax calculation but doesn't change submission format.
Yes. Pre-incorporation consulting income earned in your own name as a sole trader is self-employment income for MTD ITSA. Once the company forms and you switch billing to the company, that income moves out of MTD ITSA scope (into Corporation Tax). We handle the transition cleanly so quarterly submissions reflect the sole-trader period accurately and the limited-company period starts on the right basis.
MTD ITSA is administered nationally — your physical accountant location doesn't affect the submission process. BlackpeakCFO is 100% remote, ACMA-CGMA-qualified, and gives every Dundee client the same single-named-professional accountability you'd get from a London boutique at £400+/mo. The £150/mo Plus tier is the gap most Dundee accountants haven't filled.
