TapTax tools 49
estimate_self_employed_taxEstimate UK income tax and Class 4 National Insurance for a sole trader from turnover and allowable expenses, with the take-home figure, effective and marginal rates, payments on account and tailored tips, from HMRC's published rates for the tax year. Works from the figures given, without a TapTax account.check_tax_codeCheck whether a UK PAYE tax code (e.g. 1257L, BR, K475, 1257L W1/M1) looks right for a salary and circumstances, explain what it means, and estimate any over- or under-payment. Flat-rate codes (BR, D0, D1) are only judged when hasMultipleJobs is known; without it the verdict is needs_info. Returns a verdict tier; refund figures are estimates, not amounts owed.check_mtd_statusSay whether and when Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies to someone, from their qualifying income: self-employment turnover plus property income, before expenses, as on their Self Assessment return. Employment and pension income do not count.get_mtd_deadlinesList the standard Making Tax Digital quarterly update periods and deadlines for a tax year, and which one is next. Updates are cumulative from 6 April.calculate_take_home_payCalculate take-home pay from a UK salary for a tax year: income tax by band (England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or Scotland), employee National Insurance, student loan repayment and pension contributions, with yearly, monthly and weekly take-home and the employer National Insurance and total cost to the employer.calculate_gross_salary_for_take_homeWork out the gross UK salary needed to take home a given amount a year after income tax, employee National Insurance, student loan and a pension percentage, for a tax year (net to gross).calculate_salary_sacrificeCompare pay before and after a salary sacrifice for a pension or an electric company car: income tax, National Insurance and student loan saved, employer National Insurance saved and passed back, benefit-in-kind tax for a car, the drop in take-home pay, and for a pension the cost per pound added and the saving against paying in from net pay.
