What TaxBot does
TaxBot is built for a specific reader: a sole trader or a CIS subcontractor in the UK who now has to keep digital records under Making Tax Digital (MTD) and send quarterly updates to HMRC. Instead of a desktop bookkeeping package, the day-to-day work happens in a Telegram chat.
The main habit it asks of you is small. When you pay for materials, fuel or tools, you take a photo of the receipt and send it to the bot. AI reads the receipt and puts the expense into a category, so by the end of the quarter the records are already sorted rather than sitting in a shoebox.
The bot also keeps an eye on the calendar. It tracks the quarterly submission windows, sends reminders before deadlines and, according to the developer, submits the reports to HMRC itself. For people who used to rush everything in January, that is the real point of the service.
Pricing is straightforward: there is no free plan. The introductory price is £9.99 a month for the first six months, then £14.99 a month, with no contract, as listed on tax-bot.co.uk.
Know the limits before you subscribe. It only makes sense inside the UK tax system, the interface is in English, and it is a record-keeping and submission assistant, not a replacement for an accountant's advice on what you can claim.
