What AbraTax is
AbraTax is paid spreadsheet-bridging software for UK VAT, Self Assessment, and Making Tax Digital Income Tax filings. It supports self-employment, investment income, and rental income through web, iOS, and Android access. Users can work from Excel, Google Sheets, or other tools that export spreadsheet or CSV figures. For Income Tax, AbraTax sends quarterly updates to HMRC and supports filing returns with adjustments and other income or gains. Templates cover self-employment, UK property, and foreign property income, and the service shows an estimated tax position as users proceed. AbraTax does not directly connect to Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, or Sage; instead, users upload a completed CSV from its template. It says submissions go directly to HMRC and that it is HMRC-recognised software. VAT filing requires nine VAT boxes. The first filing is free, then a paid plan is required.
