Every date, category and rate is UK-native. That is the whole point.
Everything runs 6 April 2026 → 5 April 2027, with the real deadlines built in: 31 January online filing, 31 July payments on account, 5 October registration.
Expense categories follow the SA103 self-employment pages, so filling in your return is copy-paste, not archaeology.
The new 55p-per-mile simplified rate (first 10,000 miles) is already wired in — most trackers still use the old 45p.
Designed in pounds, printed on A4. No dollar signs, no Letter paper, no "deductions" language.
The kind of things we dig up for customers — six favourites:
Britain switched to the Gregorian calendar in 1752 and lost 11 days overnight. Rather than collect 11 days of extra tax, HMRC's predecessor simply shifted the year end from 25 March to 5 April — and we've filed to that strange date ever since.
The simplified rate for cars and vans rose from 45p to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles. On 10,000 miles that is £100 extra you can claim versus last year's rate.
Paper returns are due 31 October, online returns 31 January. Filing online buys you three extra months — and HMRC processes online refunds faster too.
After your first Self Assessment bill you often pay twice by 31 January — this year's tax plus a "payment on account" towards next year. A reserve habit (and our tracker's estimate) softens the blow.
Earn under £1,000 from side income? You may not need to register at all. Above that, registration is required by 5 October following the end of the tax year.
Parking tickets and ordinary commuting are never allowable — but the parking on a business trip is. Knowing the line saves both money and embarrassment.

VAT fields, paid / part-paid / overdue statuses, days overdue and a live dashboard that shows who still owes you.
A focused weekly income & expense log for A4 and A5 — for people who like pen and paper on Friday afternoon.
Every common cost area for 2026/27 with mileage rates, mixed-use rules and the traps to avoid. A4 + A5.

Run every client in one place: retainer burn-down with early-warning flags, an effective £/h rate check that exposes underpriced contracts, time log, task pipeline, invoice chasers and a utilisation view that tells you when to raise rates.
Take every job from enquiry to paid handover: customer book, quote maths with material markup and optional VAT, visit diary, parts ordering, invoice chasers, and a close-out gate that stays open until paperwork and payment are clear.
A channel-specific operating system, not a generic content calendar: score ideas, approve scripts, run production, compare title and thumbnail hypotheses, publish across platforms, diagnose performance and measure how much repurposed content actually ships.

You land on a private delivery page with your files or Notion workspace link immediately after payment.
Duplicate a Notion workspace, open the spreadsheets in Excel or Google Sheets, or print the A4/A5 tools.
After checkout you receive a private workspace link. Open it while signed in to Notion and choose Duplicate to copy the complete system into your own account. It then belongs in your workspace and can be edited like any other Notion page.
No automatic integrations are required. Showrunner HQ does not upload to YouTube or Spotify, Trades HQ does not issue statutory certificates, and the business workspaces do not move money or file taxes. Their value is the connected operating system, decision formulas and repeatable workflow inside Notion.
Both. The workbooks are .xlsx and open natively in Excel and LibreOffice; upload to Google Drive and open with Google Sheets to use them there. A guide with import steps is included.
No. Everything we sell is an organisational and educational tool. It does not file anything with HMRC and cannot account for every personal circumstance. Check GOV.UK and a qualified professional for advice.
This edition uses the 2026/27 figures published on GOV.UK — Personal Allowance £12,570, Class 4 National Insurance 6% / 2% over £12,570 and £50,270, and the new 55p mileage rate. Assumptions are editable and clearly labelled.
The tax estimate covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland has its own income tax bands; the trackers still work for record-keeping, but treat the estimate as a planning starting point only.
