TapTax

Record a business income or expense in the signed-in person's TapTax, such as a receipt or a payment. The category is the HMRC self-employment box it belongs in. The same entry added twice within 10 minutes is recorded once.

add_transaction

Check whether a UK PAYE tax code (e.g. 1257L, BR, K475, 1257L W1/M1) looks right for a salary and circumstances, explain what it means, and estimate any over- or under-payment. Flat-rate codes (BR, D0, D1) are only judged when hasMultipleJobs is known; without it the verdict is needs_info. Returns a verdict tier; refund figures are estimates, not amounts owed.

check_tax_code

Say whether and when Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies to someone, from their qualifying income: self-employment turnover plus property income, before expenses, as on their Self Assessment return. Employment and pension income do not count.

check_mtd_status

Create and save a draft invoice in the signed-in person's TapTax account from a client name and one or more line items. No saved client, earlier invoice or client email is needed to create it; an email is only needed later, to send it. It is numbered in their sequence, uses their saved business details, and is not sent. Free plans include 3 invoices; paid plans are unlimited.

create_invoice

Estimate UK income tax and Class 4 National Insurance for a sole trader from turnover and allowable expenses, with the take-home figure, effective and marginal rates, payments on account and tailored tips, from HMRC's published rates for the tax year. Works from the figures given, without a TapTax account.

estimate_self_employed_tax

Read the signed-in person's own mileage log in their TapTax account for a tax year: total miles, the deductible amount at the approved rates, and the most recent trips.

get_mileage_summary

Read the signed-in person's own TapTax account: their tax year so far, as their dashboard shows it: business income, expenses and profit counted by the filing rule, the estimated income tax and Class 4 NI, how many transactions still need a business-or-personal decision, which quarterly updates they have filed through TapTax, and the next deadline. Needs no figures from the person: everything comes from their records.

get_tax_position

Read the signed-in person's own invoices from their TapTax account, newest first, with each one's live status (a sent invoice past its due date reads as overdue) and the totals outstanding and overdue. Needs no details from the person.

list_invoices

Read and search the signed-in person's own income and expense records in their TapTax account, newest first. Filter by tax year or dates, type, text in the description, or needsReview=true for the ones still waiting for a business-or-personal decision (the review queue). Needs no details from the person beyond what to look for.

list_transactions

Record a business journey in the signed-in person's mileage log. TapTax prices it at the approved mileage rate for the tax year (tiered after 10,000 car miles). Commuting to a permanent workplace is not business mileage. Mileage tracking is on the Pro plan.
