Xero Integration for UK dog walkers
Make Making Tax Digital the easy bit.
If you walk dogs for a living in the UK, Making Tax Digital (MTD) is coming for you. From April 2026 sole traders earning over £50,000 must keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC through MTD-compatible software. The threshold drops to £30,000 in 2027 and £20,000 in 2028. PawLoop's native Xero integration was built specifically for this — every walk you log becomes a digital, time-stamped, HMRC-compliant record, automatically pushed to Xero as a categorised sales line. No receipts. No spreadsheets. No quarterly panic.

What Xero Integration does for your business
Making Tax Digital, sorted
PawLoop keeps HMRC-compliant digital records of every walk, payment and invoice — so when MTD for Income Tax kicks in, you're already there. No shoeboxes of receipts, no end-of-quarter panic.
Walk income straight into Xero
Every paid walk syncs to your Xero account as a clean line item against the right customer. Your books stay accurate without a single manual entry.
Quarterly submissions in minutes
With your income already categorised in Xero, filing your quarterly MTD updates to HMRC takes minutes — not a weekend hunched over spreadsheets.
Built for sole traders & small businesses
Whether you're a one-walker operation or a small team, PawLoop + Xero gives you the same finance setup the big service businesses use — without the accountant's bill.
What Making Tax Digital means for dog walkers
MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) requires self-employed dog walkers above the income threshold to keep digital records of every transaction and submit quarterly updates to HMRC using approved software. Cash books, paper diaries and 'I'll sort it at year-end' all stop being legal. PawLoop logs every walk as a digital record at the moment it happens, with the customer, dog, date, time, price and payment status — exactly the data HMRC needs.
How the Xero sync actually works
Connect your Xero account once via OAuth. From then on, every paid walk in PawLoop flows into Xero as a sales line against the correct customer contact, with the right account code and tax rate. Invoices issued from PawLoop also appear in Xero with one click. You keep doing what you do — walking dogs — and your books stay live and accurate.
Quarterly submissions without the weekend wipeout
Because your income is already categorised in Xero throughout the quarter, generating an MTD-compliant update is a matter of minutes. Run the report in Xero, review, file. No reconstructing the quarter from bank statements and WhatsApp messages.
Built for solo walkers and small teams alike
Whether you're a one-person operation walking 30 dogs a week or running a small pack-walking team, PawLoop scales with you. The Xero integration handles solo walks, group walks, recurring weekly bookings, one-offs and ad-hoc invoices — all categorised correctly so your accountant (or you) can answer any HMRC question instantly.
