SELF-EMPLOYED
TAX. DONE.
Tax shouldn't take over your business. DoneSE was built for exactly that.
Not accounting software with tax bolted on. Enter your income and expenses, check your quarter, and submit when you're ready. No spreadsheets. No bridging software. No accounting suite to learn.
No accounting degree required
Enter. Check. Done.
If Making Tax Digital applies to you, you will need to keep digital records and send quarterly updates to HMRC using compatible software. That can sound like more tax admin - DoneSE is built to make it less.
Enter your figures
Add your self-employed income and expenses directly into DoneSE. Just enter what came in and what went out.
Keep it organised
Record and categorise as you go. Instead of facing months of paperwork at once, one simple place to keep the digital records you need.
Check your quarter
See your figures clearly before anything is sent. Review what you have entered and make changes if you need to.
Submit when ready
Happy with your quarter? Submit your quarterly update to HMRC. Nothing goes to HMRC until you choose to send it.
Work the way you want
Your tax. Your choice.
DoneSE starts with a simple idea. You should be able to deal with your quarterly updates in the way that works for you.
Do it yourself
You keep control
Enter your income and expenses, keep your digital records organised, check your quarter and submit when you are ready.

Already have one?
If your accountant uses DoneTax+, you can send them each quarter's figures in a tap. They review, adjust if needed, and submit to HMRC on your behalf.

Check first. Submit when you're ready.
Wondering whether you have entered something correctly? Perhaps you have added a phone bill that includes some private use, or you are simply not sure about one of the figures in your quarter. Three things are worth knowing.
You see your figures first
DoneSE shows you the figures you have entered before anything is submitted. You can check them and make changes.
Nothing is sent until you submit
Entering or changing a figure in DoneSE does not send it to HMRC. Your quarterly update only goes when you choose to submit it.
Not your final tax return
A quarterly update is a running summary of your income and expenses for the tax year. If something needs correcting, figures can be corrected in a later update.

A connected future
Your clients are going digital too.
We are developing the professional side of the DoneLabs ecosystem for independent accountants and accountancy practices working with Making Tax Digital clients.
The aim is simple. Make it easier for clients and their accountants to work from the same digital records, without forcing the client into a full accounting suite.
Dedicated platform for accountants managing multiple clients' Making Tax Digital for Income Tax submissions.
A note from the founder
I started DoneLabs after listening to self-employed people talk about Making Tax Digital. Not one of them was arguing with the idea of digital records. What they objected to was being handed a full accounting system to satisfy a quarterly obligation they hadn't asked for.
So the brief was narrow on purpose. Record your income and expenses, see your quarter, submit it. No invoicing you don't use. No dashboard to learn.
The second half took longer to see. Accountants are dealing with the same problem from the other side, working through client records every time a submission period comes round.
That's why we're building DoneLabs around both sides - giving people a simple way to manage their own records, with independent professional support there when they want it.
One job, done properly, for both people who have to do it.
