What TaxSorted is
TaxSorted is growing into accounting software for people and small organisations without an in-house accounting team. The live books today cover one UK sole trade or one UK property business; guides and bounded checks reach further.
It is free and open-source. You do not need an account. Starter Books stays in ordinary browser storage on your device; an Account does not back it up or encrypt it, and clearing site data can erase it. The trust and boundaries page keeps these limits and the current filing state in one place.
It is built in the open by one human and one AI. What gets built next is steered by what you ask for.
The promise
- Pay what the law requires. Claim what the law allows.
- If a rule cannot be explained in plain words, the explanation needs more work — not you.
- No fear, no punishment. Deadlines are facts to plan around, never scare tactics.
- We show each covered lawful choice and its wider cost without deciding your priorities.
- Keep the evidence, receipt, correction route and right to leave.
- A prepared figure, send attempt, delivery proof, authority response, acceptance, payment and correction are different states. We never blur them.
