TraderTax is the dead-simple accounts app for self-employed tradespeople. Log money in and out, track your mileage, send invoices — and instantly see your Tax/NI calculation, so there's no nasty surprise come January.
From logging a job to instantly viewing your tax calculation — here's how simple it really is.
You didn't go self-employed to spend your evenings on spreadsheets. TraderTax does the fiddly bits so you can get back to the job.
Your Income Tax and National Insurance update live as you log income and expenses — so you always know roughly what to put aside.
Add a job, an expense or a mileage trip from your phone on site, in the van, or at the end of the day. No clunky menus.
Email your full year of records and mileage straight to your accountant, or export a spreadsheet. Tidy, sorted, done.
Most traders find out their tax bill months too late. TraderTax keeps a running estimate using the real 2026/27 rules, so the number's never a shock.
Plain, practical tools — nothing you'll never use. Here's what's inside.
Log income and expenses in seconds, sort them into categories, and see your monthly in-versus-out at a glance.
Set a repeating cost or payment once — insurance, rent, a subscription, a retainer — and TraderTax books it for you automatically, weekly through yearly, for a set number of times or until you stop it.
Add a trip and we work out the claim at current HMRC rates — 55p a mile for the first 10,000, 25p thereafter.
Income Tax and National Insurance calculated instantly — and if you've a job alongside, pop in your P60 to see what you really owe.
Send tidy invoices with your logo, add line items, mark them paid, save a PDF — or email them to the customer.
Send a quote to win the work, then turn an accepted one into an invoice or a job in a single tap. On every plan.
Group income, expenses and mileage by job, bill in stages, and see the profit you've actually made on each one.
Book jobs into your week, and your customer gets an automatic confirmation now and a reminder the day before.
Switching from another system or a spreadsheet? Import your income, expenses and mileage so you start with your history intact.
Build categories that match how you work — handy for any self-employed trade, not just Tradespeople.
Snap a receipt from your phone and keep it attached to your records — add several photos to one receipt for long or multi-page ones, so nothing goes missing before tax time.
Email or export your full books and mileage, with VAT breakdown — on every plan.
Set your CIS status and your figures account for deductions, so the tax estimate stays honest.
No accountancy degree required. If you can send a text, you can run your books.
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — nothing's taken for two weeks, and if it's not for you, cancel before then and pay nothing. Pay yearly and get two months free. No long contracts, no setup fees.
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. You get set up — payment details and all — but nothing is taken for the first two weeks. If it's not for you, cancel any time before day 14 and you won't pay a penny. Otherwise your first payment — monthly or yearly, whichever you chose — simply starts automatically, so there's nothing to remember. We'll email you a reminder before it does.
No. TraderTax works whether or not you're VAT-registered. Most sole traders aren't, and you'll have everything you need. If you are registered, you can record VAT on your transactions and pass it straight to your accountant.
Yes. Set your CIS status in your settings and your figures will account for deductions, so your tax estimate stays accurate.
Anytime — no penalties, no awkward phone calls. On a monthly plan you keep your access until the end of the month you've paid for. On a yearly plan you've got a 14-day cooling-off period after each payment, during which you can cancel for a full refund; after that it simply runs to the end of the year you've paid for.
That's up to you. TraderTax keeps you organised and shows your estimated tax all year. Many traders still use an accountant to file their return — and with one tap you can hand them a tidy, complete set of records.
Your records belong to your account and are protected by your password. They're yours — we're just the tidy place you keep them.
Join the tradespeople who've stopped dreading tax time. It takes a couple of minutes to set up.
