A sole trader is a type of business owned and run by one person. As a sole trader you're not legally separate to your business, so you're personally responsible for any losses or debts, but you also get to keep all of the profits after paying tax on them.

You'll normally need to submit a Self Assessment tax return to tell HMRC about your self-employment income. They use this information to work out how much income tax and National Insurance you need to pay.

Absolutely! Pandle's financial reporting tools automatically update each time you enter a transaction into your bookkeeping, ready for you to use this information to help you complete your Self Assessment tax return.

Yes, if you need to! Pandle makes collaborating with your accountant and other people in your business quick and easy, whilst keeping you in control of who can see your data.

Our opening balances wizard helps you to import any existing bookkeeping information you might need to bring with you into Pandle. You can even import the details of your customers, suppliers and outstanding invoices.

Pandle will be free forever, but if you want to automate more of your day-to-day bookkeeping tasks, Pandle Pro is £5 + VAT per month.

Nope, not with Pandle. If you decide to pay for Pandle Pro you can cancel at any time, and you won't be billed again unless you restart your subscription. All your data will be safe, and your account will simply return to the free plan.
