Stop paying for an office app you only use 10% of. TradeKit gives you 100% of what you need to win jobs, track profit, and stay on the right side of HMRC — at a fraction of the cost.
Xero and QuickBooks assume you have a desk. TradeKit assumes you're in a van or on a ladder. Our 56px touch targets mean you can log an expense with dirty hands without mis-tapping.
While other apps just record what you spent, TradeKit's smart engine predicts which job an expense belongs to and alerts you when margins are slipping. It's the difference between a ledger and a business partner.
Starting April 2026, digital record-keeping is mandatory for sole traders over £50k. TradeKit translates HMRC's complex “boxes” into plain English. You don't “file a return” — you just confirm your quarter and get back to work.
TradeKit doesn't talk like an accountant. It talks like you. From “Sorted!” to “Bin this job?”, the app feels like it was built by someone who has actually been on a site — because it was.
From April 2026, HMRC requires sole traders earning over £50,000 to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates. TradeKit™ connects directly to HMRC — submit your quarterly returns, claim capital allowances, and file your Final Declaration without leaving the app.
Submit quarterly MTD updates directly to HMRC via Government Gateway. Cumulative YTD figures calculated automatically. No third-party filing needed.
File your year-end Final Declaration (replacing Self Assessment) and claim Annual Investment Allowance for tools, vans, and equipment — all from the app.
Connect your bank account for automatic transaction feeds. 60+ UK merchants auto-categorised to HMRC expense categories. Incoming payments matched to invoices.
Every expense maps to the correct HMRC SA103F box number. Export CSV files your accountant can use directly for filing.
Download a professional Proof of Income PDF with your financial summary, HMRC box mapping, and ICO-registered digital audit trail.
AES-256-GCM encryption for all HMRC and banking tokens. Server-side rate limiting. Per-user input validation. Your data never leaves the UK.
ICO registered (C1881975) • HMRC MTD recognised • Open Banking via TrueLayer • UK data residency
