Questions

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Upload it to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets — the formulas work. It also opens in Numbers and LibreOffice.

Will it file my tax return?

No — it gives you organised figures by HMRC category to copy into your return or hand to your accountant. It isn't tax advice.

Can I use it for more than one year?

Yes. Save a copy each April and set the new start year on the Settings sheet.

How do I get the files?

Press Buy, sign in or create an account on our client portal and pay by card. Your download appears under My downloads as soon as payment goes through, and you can download it again at any time.

Something not right?

Email hello@daedalusdesign.co.uk and we'll put it right: a corrected file, a different format or a refund. See refunds and faulty files.
