TaxUpdates

Intuitive UK tax tools: take-home pay, Income Tax, CGT, VAT, Stamp Duty and more. Live HMRC updates and deadlines. Private by design; your data never leaves your phone.

TaxUpdates is a practical UK tax application, containing calculators, decision tools, deadlines, and a live regulatory feed, all on your phone.

CALCULATORS (2026/27) • Take-Home Pay — see your net salary after Income Tax, National Insurance, pension and student loan, with a clear breakdown of where your pay goes. Supports salary-sacrifice, net-pay and relief-at-source pensions (rest of UK). • Income Tax — model salary, other income, savings interest and dividends together, with correct band stacking, the Personal Allowance taper, the Personal Savings and Dividend allowances, Class 1 NIC, and effective and marginal rates (rest of UK). • Capital Gains Tax — the annual exempt amount, the basic/higher-rate split, and correct handling of current-year losses (used in full) and brought-forward losses (used only down to the exempt amount). • VAT — add or remove VAT at the standard, reduced or zero rate, plus a Flat Rate Scheme calculator with the first-year discount and limited-cost-business rate. • Stamp Duty (SDLT) — residential rates for England & Northern Ireland, including first-time buyer relief, the additional-property surcharge and the non-resident surcharge. • Student Loan — income-contingent repayments for Plans 1, 2, 4, 5 and the Postgraduate Loan.

DECISION TOOLS • Tax Health Check — answer a few quick questions to surface reliefs you may be missing and obligations to act on, each linking to the relevant tool or gov.uk page. • IR35 status indicator — a weighted assessment against the foundational case-law factors, with an HMRC source for every question. • Do I need to file a tax return? — walks HMRC's Self Assessment criteria. • Is my side hustle taxable? — identifies the £1,000 trading allowance and the badges of trade. • Do I need to register for VAT? — the £90,000 registration and £88,000 deregistration thresholds, explained. The IR35, Self Assessment and side-hustle checks explain the position based on what you enter, export a PDF, cite gov.uk, and link to the relevant official HMRC checker.

STAY CURRENT • Updates — a live feed of tax content available from sources such as HMRC and gov.uk. Star items to save them for later; saved items stay available offline. • Deadlines — key UK filing and payment dates with countdowns and direct gov.uk links.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN The figures you enter never leave your device — no accounts, no tracking, no servers of our own. Released builds use anonymous crash diagnostics only.

INFORMATIONAL, NOT ADVICE TaxUpdates provides indicative calculations and informational content to support your own judgement. It is not tax advice or a Status Determination Statement. Always verify against HMRC guidance and consult a qualified adviser when making decisions.
