TraderTax is the dead-simple accounts app for self-employed tradespeople. Log money in and out, track your mileage, send invoices — and watch your tax bill add up as you go, so there's no nasty surprise come January.
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 download 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 record VAT where it applies.
Add a trip and we work out the claim at current HMRC rates — 55p a mile for the first 10,000, 25p after.
