Questions? We’ve got you.
Do I need to know anything about tax to use TaxHalo?
No. TaxHalo is designed for people who are not tax experts. Every step is explained in plain language and we only ask for what we actually need. If a term matters, we explain it — no assumed knowledge, ever.
Is TaxHalo run by accountants?
No. TaxHalo is software that helps you understand and manage your own tax — it does not give legal or financial advice. Think of it as a very organised, very patient assistant that knows UK tax rules inside out.
Can I check and change things myself?
Yes, always. Guidance is on by default but you are in full control. You can review, override, or edit anything at any time. Nothing gets sent anywhere without you seeing it first.
What happens to my data?
Your data is encrypted, access-controlled, and stored in the UK. You can see exactly who has access to your account and change it at any time. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties.
Can I track multiple rental properties?
Yes. TaxHalo lets you add as many UK or overseas rental properties as you need. Income and expenses are allocated per property, and reports give you a per-property as well as aggregate view.
Does TaxHalo handle foreign rental income?
It supports tracking foreign rental properties with jurisdiction labels. You’ll get prompts for common allowable deductions and the right HMRC category for each one.
What deductible expenses does TaxHalo suggest?
Common deductions like repairs and maintenance, letting agent fees, insurance, mortgage interest, and service charges are prompted automatically based on the property details you provide.
What are HMRC’s new digital record-keeping rules?
HMRC is requiring more people to keep digital records of their income and send updates more regularly — not just once a year at the end of January. TaxHalo keeps you ready for this automatically. Read the official guidance on GOV.UK →
Can I import my bank transactions?
Yes. You can import transactions via CSV, or connect securely through Open Banking on the Essentials plan and above. TaxHalo will suggest categories automatically.
I'm a builder or tradesperson — do deductions get tracked?
Yes. If your payments have tax withheld at source — common in construction and contracting — TaxHalo records those deductions alongside your income so you can see at a glance how much has been withheld and factor it into your tax estimate.
Why does my tax-free allowance disappear above £100,000?
HMRC reduces your personal allowance by £1 for every £2 of income above £100,000. TaxHalo's high-earner panel flags this clearly and shows the live impact on your estimate.
Does TaxHalo handle pension relief and salary sacrifice?
Yes. The tax efficiencies module lets you input pension contributions and salary sacrifice amounts. TaxHalo factors these into the calculation to show the effect on your net liability.
Can TaxHalo track dividend and interest income?
Yes. Personal income streams — employment, dividends, and savings interest — feed into the individual return estimate. Trend-based projections are available for dividend and interest income.
