Common questions
Is SelfYear tax advice?
No. SelfYear gives planning guidance in plain English based on the information you add. It is not professional tax, legal or accounting advice.
Is SelfYear connected to HMRC?
No. SelfYear is not HMRC and does not give official decisions. Use GOV.UK or HMRC when you need the official position.
Does SelfYear calculate my exact tax?
No. Any reserve or money guidance is rough planning context only. SelfYear does not produce an exact or official tax outcome.
Can I use SelfYear instead of accounting software?
Usually no if you need full bookkeeping, filing or accountant-first workflows. SelfYear is better suited to planning, organisation and first-year clarity.
