## What is TAXO'D?

Free yourself from the monotonous burden and time spent worrying over your taxes and focus on what you were put on this earth to do!

Built for freelancers, by freelancers who know your pain.

TAXO'D is the antithesis of accounting. It's simple, beautiful, intuitive and dare we say, enjoyable. It offers you powerful tools in a simple, easy-to-use interface which gives the same experience whichever device you use it on.

TAXO'D uses the latest Open Banking technology to enable you to connect directly to your UK bank and get a live feed of all your comings and goings. Meaning, you'll never miss another business transaction again. And because your transactions are automated and categorised for you, it means you'll always be up to date and in control with little effort.

Still have last year’s tax return to do? Of course you do (we all do!) With BankSync you can do an entire year worth of bookkeeping in minutes! Combined with our simple in-app tax return filing (which is the simplest way to file your tax return on the planet, btw), you can do all of your accounting/bookkeeping and file your tax return, in under 20 minutes.

Bye bye, January blues.

Even if your self-employed and employed, TAXO'D takes PAYE earnings into account and give you your best tax owed figure through the year.

Now that's boring stuff taken care of, your free to do just about anything else.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-01-05, version 1.0.30*

Absolute crap. Crashes every time you open it. Useless

### 1/5 — Thought it was good then it crashed.

*2022-07-24, version 1.0.30*

After reading the good reviews I thought I’d give it a go. After halfway through filling the account info the app went to white screen. So I closed the app re opened it still white screen. So forced restart on my phone, reopened the app and you guess it still white screen. Very disappointed that I can’t now use the app. So I won’t be using this, looks like I will have to sign up to quick books after all.

### 5/5 — Amazing app and service.

*2020-12-21, version 1.0.30*

Used the free version to keep track of my freelancer accounts, was honestly so happy with it I decided to upgrade my account, the ease of use and features of the free version I think I would have been happy to pay for that anyway.

Recently ran into a bit of an issue, but contacting the team resulted in a very quick response from the very helpful Dave who resolved the issue within a day.

Recommend this to every freelancer.

### 5/5 — Beautifully simple . Incredibly robust .

*2020-11-16, version 1.0.30*

The UX has always been amazing but the recent updates have seen it further fined . You have a clear indication of income and expenses and ‘what tax you owe’ all
In real time . You can now also sync your bank account and filing direct to HMRC directly has never been more easy . A must for any contractor (or small business for that matter)

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2020-04-07, version 1.0.30*

This is a great little app, I’ve found it so helpful when doing my taxes as a new freelancer and they have fantastic customer service too. I upgraded to the Hero option and it made it so easy as it was all linked straight from my bank account using banksync so no manual input. Would highly recommend.

### 5/5 — A Must For Any Freelancer

*2020-01-02, version 1.0.30*

I can’t recommend TAXO’D highly enough. A life saver whilst navigating the bamboozling world of tax and it was a massive help when I was starting out in the freelance world. It can be very easy to lose track of how much you owe the tax man but TAXO’D made the process much easier. Dave, the founder, offered invaluable support with any issues and went above and beyond. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Excellent tax app for non-accountants

*2019-11-11, version 1.0.30*

A very straightforward, simple to use and useful app for self-employed people who don't enjoy accounting. Easier than using spreadsheets, and takes the worry out of expenses - simple categorisation and confidence that tax return is "properly" done without risk of incorrect claims or needing to spend hours researching HMRC. 
Excellent proactive and friendly support solved a bug and kept me updated throughout the process. It's reassuring to know that someone will respond in a timely way and is genuinely interested in solving the issue rather than just making it go away. Thanks Dave, and I wish you every success in the future. :)
Not particularly cheap, but worth the cost for time saved in tracking expenses and completing tax return.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-11-08, version 1.0.30*

This app is just perfect, really simply to use, upgrading to hero at a really reasonable price I don’t have to worry about filing my tax return as it does it all for you, well worth it.

### 5/5 — Brill app !

*2019-10-29, version 1.0.30*

Brill app - so easy to use!

### 5/5 — Updates have been great!

*2019-04-05, version 1.0.24*

Really digging the recent updates. Was a little anxious about doing my tax return properly, but this made it way easier and straightforward! Thanks!
