Frequently Asked Questions

Can Zoho Books be used as bookkeeping software for agriculture by smaller farms?
Absolutely. Zoho Books is designed to scale from small family farms to large multi-enterprise agribusinesses. As bookkeeping software for agriculture, the Standard plan covers all the essentials a smaller farm needs: invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, and MTD VAT filing.
What is accounting software for agriculture and why do UK farms need it?
Accounting software for agriculture is financial management software designed specifically for the unique needs of farming businesses — seasonal income patterns, input-heavy cost structures, VAT complexity, and compliance with HMRC's Making Tax Digital requirements. UK farms need dedicated farm accounting software rather than generic tools because standard accounting packages don't understand crop cycles, livestock costs, subsidy income, or the Agricultural Flat Rate Scheme. Zoho Books is purpose-built to handle all of these, saving the average farm business over five hours per week in admin time.
Is Zoho Books compliant with Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
Yes, Zoho Books is fully compliant with MTD for VAT and is HMRC-recognised. You can submit your VAT returns directly to HMRC from within Zoho Books, with a complete digital audit trail maintained automatically. Zoho Books is now MTD for Income Tax (ITSA)-ready, which becomes mandatory for sole trader farmers with qualifying income as of April 2026. As accounting software for agriculture, it keeps you compliant today and ahead of tomorrow's requirements.
Does Zoho Books support the Agricultural Flat Rate Scheme (AFRS)?
Yes. Our farm accounting software supports both standard VAT registration and the Agricultural Flat Rate Scheme. If you're on the AFRS, you can configure the correct flat rate percentage and Zoho Books will apply it to eligible supplies automatically. You can configure the scheme that suits your farm from the VAT settings.
Can I track BPS, SFI, and agri-environment scheme payments separately?
Yes. Zoho Books lets you create specific income categories for Basic Payment Scheme, Sustainable Farming Incentive, Countryside Stewardship, and other scheme payments. This keeps your trading income and subsidy income clearly separated — important both for accurate reporting and for correct tax treatment when using this bookkeeping software for agriculture.
