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