We Built 123Tax Because Tax Shouldn't Be This Hard

We saw thousands of tradespeople struggling with HMRC paperwork and thought: there has to be a better way. Turns out, there was — WhatsApp.

Our mission

Tax compliance, as simple as sending a text message.

To make tax compliance as simple as sending a text message. No apps. No dashboards. No jargon. Just you, your phone, and us handling the rest. We believe every self-employed person in the UK deserves a service that fits around their working day — not one that adds to it.

Founder

Meet the founder

Built by someone who gets it.

After years of watching tradespeople get stung by confusing tax rules and overpriced accountants, the founder of 123Tax set out to build something radically different. Something that doesn't require you to sit down at a computer. Something that works the way you already work — on your phone, between jobs, in the van.

123Tax was born from a simple frustration: why should good, hard-working people have to become amateur accountants just to stay on the right side of HMRC? They shouldn't. And now, they don't have to.

Why we're different

Not another accounting app.

We designed 123Tax from scratch around how tradespeople actually work.

We speak plain English

No accountancy jargon. No confusing HMRC codes. We explain everything in straightforward language that actually makes sense. If your nan wouldn't understand it, we won't say it.

We're built for mobile

You're on a job site, not sitting at a desk. That's why 123Tax runs entirely through WhatsApp. No apps to download, no portals to log into. Just your phone doing what it does best.

We understand your trade

We know the difference between CIS deductions and Self Assessment. We know what a subbies' payslip looks like. We built this for builders, plumbers, electricians and every other trade that keeps this country running.
