Solving the Making Tax Digital (MTD) Challenge

For UK businesses, Making Tax Digital is more than just a software update; it is a legal requirement to maintain an unbroken “Digital Link” between your original invoices and your accounting ledger.

Manual “copy-and-paste” or physical filing is no longer enough. Dragonfly Technology provides the infrastructure to automate this journey, ensuring your business remains compliant while significantly reducing operational costs.

The Dragonfly MTD Solution: How it Works

We combine industry-leading hardware with intelligent software to create a seamless compliance stream:

01

Secure Automated Capture

Using Toshiba and Xerox MFDs, your physical invoices are scanned and instantly digitised. Our AI-powered OCR (Optical Character Recognition) extracts supplier names, VAT amounts and dates automatically.

02

Verified Digital Links

Our systems create the HMRC-required "Digital Link" by pushing extracted data directly into your accounting software (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, or ERP). This eliminates the "Error Tax" associated with manual typing.

03

HMRC-Ready Secure Archive

HMRC requires records to be kept for six years. We provide an encrypted, cloud-based archive that makes retrieving documents for an audit as simple as a one-second search.

Is your manual data entry costing you more than just time?

Navigating HMRC Making Tax Digital (MTD) & Compliance FAQs

Transitioning to MTD doesn't have to be complex. Discover how Dragonfly’s document automation ensures flawless HMRC compliance, eliminates paper trails, and seamlessly integrates with your existing UK accounting software.

What are HMRC "Digital Links" for MTD?

Digital links are a strict requirement under MTD rules. They mandate that data must be transferred between software programs digitally, without manual intervention like copying and pasting. Our automated document management systems ensure these links remain unbroken from the moment a physical invoice is scanned all the way to your accounting ledger.

Do I still need to keep physical paper copies of invoices for HMRC?

No. HMRC accepts digital copies of documents, provided they are legible, exact copies of the original, and securely stored. Our secure cloud archiving solutions allow you to digitise your paper trails, freeing up expensive office space while ensuring you easily meet the 6-year HMRC record-keeping requirement.

How does document automation integrate with my accounting software?

Document automation uses intelligent OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to automatically read and extract data from invoices and receipts. Our solutions integrate seamlessly with major accounting platforms like Xero, Sage, and QuickBooks, pushing the data directly into your software to eliminate manual entry errors.

How quickly does an MTD document system pay for itself?

Most UK SMEs see a full Return on Investment (ROI) within 6 to 12 months. The system pays for itself through a massive reduction in manual administrative labour, lower printing costs, and the elimination of expensive data entry errors. You can use our Document Automation ROI Calculator to see your business’s projected savings.
