Complete your tax return online with ease

Sole trader, limited company director or unincorporated landlord? As you go about your daily business, FreeAgent works away to calculate your Self Assessment liability and prepare your tax return in the background.

All your numbers, ready and waiting

FreeAgent auto-populates some of the Self Assessment forms based on the information you enter throughout the year. If you're a sole trader, when you come to file, parts of the Self Employment form will already be filled in - just like magic! And if you're using FreeAgent for Landlords, it will auto-fill parts of the UK Property form.

Avoid surprise tax bills with a real-time view of how much you owe

Your Tax Timeline will help you keep track of how much is due, when you have to pay and when you have to file your next tax return. With a clear overview of your tax position you can see all your liabilities build up over time, so you won't be left scrambling at the last minute.

Make sure there's enough in the bank to cover your tax bill

With bank feeds, you can get an accurate picture of how much you have in your account - so you'll know if you have enough to pay your next tax bill or if you need to get chasing those unpaid invoices!

Get a detailed breakdown of your tax position

Your downloadable 'Tax Breakdown' page is the equivalent of HMRC's SA302 form - many lenders accept this in place of the official form when you apply for a self-employed mortgage.

Never miss another tax deadline

The Tax Timeline tracks your deadlines - including filing, payments and payroll. Get live updates of your tax calculation and a clear view of what's done and what's due. You can even sync it with your digital calendar and if you're a NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Ulster Bank or Mettle customer, you can view the Tax Timeline in your banking app.
