The Problem
Current tax software wasn't built for you
You're a freelancer, a builder, a delivery driver, not an accountant. You shouldn't need a 3-hour tutorial just to file your tax.
Bloated software
You need 5 features. Not 200. Why pay for (and wade through) tools built for accountants?
Overpriced for what you need
Competitors charge £12–35/month for features you'll never use. TapTax starts at £4.99.
The deadline is real
From April 2026, HMRC requires quarterly digital submissions. No more shoeboxes of receipts. No more paper.
Not built for mobile
You're on-site, not at a desk. Yet most tax software still feels like a desktop spreadsheet.
No idea what you owe
Most sole traders don't know their tax position until January. By then it's too late to plan, save, or avoid a nasty surprise bill.
Lost receipts, lost money
Every crumpled receipt and missed expense is tax relief you'll never reclaim. The average sole trader misses over £400 in allowable deductions every year.

The basics
What's Making Tax Digital?
It's the new way HMRC wants sole traders and landlords to report income and expenses. Instead of one annual Self Assessment, you'll keep digital records and send quarterly updates using HMRC-recognised software, like TapTax.
Keep digital records of your income and expenses
Send quarterly updates to HMRC
File an end-of-year summary by 31 January

Am I affected?
What does Making Tax Digital mean for me?
It mainly comes down to how much you earn. HMRC is rolling this out in waves, starting with higher earners and expanding over three years.
April 2026
Over £50,000
Sole traders and landlords earning above £50,000 gross income
April 2027
Over £30,000
Threshold drops to £30,000 gross income
April 2028
Over £20,000
Threshold drops to £20,000 gross income
Not sure if you're affected? If you're self-employed or earn rental income, chances are you will be. Better to be ready early.
