Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Untied, operated by UT Tax Ltd, is a UK personal tax application delivered through iOS and Android apps and a browser interface. It is aimed at sole traders (including Construction Industry Scheme workers), freelancers, digital platform and gig workers, landlords, company directors, high earners and other individuals who file UK self assessment returns. The product lets users connect bank accounts and credit cards, import or manually enter transactions, tag income and expenses, set automation rules, log car and bike mileage, send invoices and request payments from customers, and view real-time tax calculations and insights on their tax position.

The software is recognised by HMRC and supports filing and payment directly to HMRC, including under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. Supported return components include PAYE employment income (SA102), self-employment income (SA103S), UK and foreign property income (SA105), capital gains including crypto (SA108), non-residence and remittance basis (SA109), EIS/SEIS relief (SA101), dividend and bank interest income, and student loan repayment calculations, with coverage for Scottish as well as England, Wales and Northern Ireland tax bands. The company also offers registration with HMRC as self-employed, shared access for accountants and advisers, an accountant/agent proposition, public APIs, and a built-in AI feature.
