Example (fictional data)

A gaming creator in Leeds earns from YouTube in dollars, from Patreon after its fee, from Twitch subs and from two brand deals, and got a headset from a sponsor. The bank feed shows only net amounts landing on different days. Now each quarter the payouts are grossed up, converted to pounds, the headset is entered at its value, and the quarterly update is ready a week before the deadline.

How it works

From April 2026 sole traders with income above £50,000 send quarterly updates under Making Tax Digital, and from April 2027 the threshold falls to £30,000. For a creator, a quarter means income from many places at once.

Platforms pay you net of their fees, often in dollars or euros, and on their own schedule. Answers to common questions are in the questions section, and you can start at the bottom of the page.

Creator Quarters does one narrow job: it turns what the platforms paid you in a quarter into the income figures your Making Tax Digital update needs.

A bank feed sees only the net amount that reached your account. Your income is the gross amount before the platform took its share, and the fee is a separate cost.

For each platform you add the payout statement for the quarter. The service puts the gross income and the fee side by side, so the totals match what the platform reports.

Payouts in US dollars or euros are converted to pounds with the rate for the day of each payment, and the rate used is kept next to the figure.

Products sent to you by brands are income too. You list what you received and its value on the day you got it, and it goes into the quarter with everything else.

Brand deals paid by invoice, affiliate commissions and tips are added in the same way, so the quarter shows one total from every source.

At the end of the quarter you get one summary: income by source, fees, and gifted products, ready to send as your quarterly update before the 7th of the following month.

Every figure keeps a link to the statement or note it came from, which helps when you or your accountant prepare the end-of-year return.

It is meant for sole traders who earn from content: YouTubers, streamers, podcasters, TikTok and Instagram creators, and writers on Patreon or Substack.

You do not need to change your bank or your accounting habits: the summary sits on top of what you already have.

If you already use an accountant, they can take the quarterly summary as it is instead of chasing statements from each platform.

To start, you only need the payout statements of your platforms for the last quarter and a list of gifted products.

Creator Quarters prepares the quarterly figures; your tax return and any tax advice stay with you or your accountant.

Can I use it now?

Not yet. The service is being prepared, and we are checking whether UK creators need it.
