Getting you ready for Making Tax Digital in April 2027

However they pay you, invoice it right.

Hourly for one company, a day rate for another, a flat fee for a show. Each one is worked out at the rate they pay.

A quick confirmation now, then one email when it opens.

Making Tax Digital, from the figures you already have

From April 2027, if your self-employed income is over £30,000 a year before expenses, HMRC wants an update every three months, sent from approved software. Your invoices, expenses and mileage are already in TheDayRate, so each update is a check and a tap.

When it starts, by income before expenses
Over £50,000Since April 2026
Over £30,000From April 2027
Over £20,000From April 2028

We’re testing it with HMRC now, ready for April 2027.

Works with your bank

Bring in a statement from your bank and tick what was for work. Each one becomes an expense, without typing a thing.

Linking your bank directly, so it all comes in by itself, is on the way.

Every mile, claimed

Home to the warehouse, the warehouse to the venue. Every road mile is claimed: 55p for the first 10,000 a year, then 25p.

About us

Most crew keep mileage in one place, invoices in another and receipts nowhere at all. We wanted it all in one app, so you can stay on top of it without needing an accountant.
