About TapTax
Built for the sole traders HMRC forgot
Making Tax Digital shouldn't require an accounting degree. TapTax exists because 5.7 million UK sole traders deserve a tax tool that's as simple as tapping a button.
Our Mission
Tax compliance in 60 seconds, not 60 minutes
From April 2026, HMRC requires every sole trader earning over 50,000 GBP to file quarterly digital tax updates. That's millions of freelancers, tradespeople, and small business owners suddenly needing software they've never used.
The existing options? Enterprise accounting suites costing 12-35 GBP per month, packed with features you'll never touch. They were built for accountants, not for the plumber finishing a job at 6pm.
TapTax strips it back to what matters: track your income, snap your receipts, and submit to HMRC with a single tap. That's it. That's the whole app.

What We Stand For
Four principles, zero compromise
Every decision we make gets filtered through these values. If a feature doesn't serve them, it doesn't ship.
Radical Simplicity
No accounting jargon. No 200-feature dashboards. Every screen, every button is designed so anyone can file their tax, even if they have never used accounting software before.
UK-First
Built specifically for UK sole traders and HMRC. Not a global tool with UK bolted on. Every feature maps directly to what Making Tax Digital actually requires.
Honestly Affordable
From free to 4.99 GBP per month. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no "contact us for pricing". You can see exactly what you pay before you sign up.
Privacy-First
Bank-level encryption. Your financial data stays yours. We never sell it, share it, or use it for anything other than filing your tax return.
Our Story
From frustration to filing in 60 seconds
The idea
HMRC announces Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. We realised millions of sole traders had no simple, affordable option to comply.
Built from scratch
We started building TapTax in the UK, for the UK. Every feature designed around what HMRC actually requires, nothing more, nothing less.
Early access
Thousands of sole traders joined our waitlist. We opened early access ahead of the April 2026 MTD deadline so nobody gets caught off guard.
What comes next
AI-powered expense categorisation, receipt scanning, and a mobile app that lets you file from the job site. The best is still ahead.
The Team
Built by someone who has been there
TapTax was founded by Solomon Udoh, a tax technology expert who got tired of watching ordinary people overpay HMRC or miss deadlines because the tools available were built for accountants, not for people.
Solomon built TapTax with a single mission: make tax compliance as simple as possible for the 30 million UK taxpayers who struggle with HMRC complexity every year. With a background spanning tax technology and product engineering, he leads a small, focused UK-based team who believe that good software should handle the hard parts so you don't have to.
