Free vs paid
Free, and honest about it.
Here's how TaxRadar stacks up against a spreadsheet and the paid trackers — including where the paid tools still earn their fee.
Manual Spreadsheet | Paid tracker Typical £/mo | TaxRadar Free forever | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Syncs your HMRC client list | Sometimes | ||
| Live VAT / IT / SA statusPulled from HMRC in real time | Varies | ||
| Deadline trackingCT · PAYE · Companies House | Manual | ||
| Authorisation-gap flags | |||
| Automatic client reminders | |||
| Your branding on reminders | Extra | ||
| Read-only, no login sharing | N/A | Varies | |
| Team members | — | Often 1 on free | Unlimited, free |
| Price | Your time | £ / user / mo | Free forever |
| Contract | — | Often annual | None |
“Paid tracker” reflects common features of typical UK deadline-tracking software, for orientation only — it is not a claim about any specific product.
Straight talk
What TaxRadar is — and isn't.
What it does
- Shows live VAT, Income Tax and Self Assessment status
- Tracks CT, PAYE and Companies House deadlines
- Flags authorisation gaps across your client book
- Sends automatic, branded client reminders
What it doesn't
- File returns or submit anything to HMRC
- Move money or make payments
- Replace your bookkeeping or filing software
- Show live status for CT or PAYE (those are tracked)
