What PennyChat Does
- Log expenses by WhatsApp or web chat — no forms, no spreadsheets

- 31 January self-assessment deadline countdown
- Excel export for your accountant
- Business vs personal expense classification
- Monthly budget tracking per category
- Spending graphs and analytics
Who It's For
UK sole traders who work in cash — builders, cleaners, gardeners, plumbers, electricians, painters, decorators, landscapers. If you're self-employed and not using an accounting app, PennyChat is built for you.
The records HMRC asks for
HMRC requires: amount + description + category + date. PennyChat captures all four every time you log an expense. No receipt photo needed. Export to Excel in one tap and send it to your accountant.
Making Tax Digital (MTD)
MTD for Income Tax applies to sole traders with qualifying income over £50,000 from April 2026 (lower thresholds follow from April 2027 and 2028). PennyChat keeps your records digital now; MTD submission through Penny is coming later.
PennyChat is a record-keeping tool, not a tax adviser or accountant. Tax figures are estimates based on GOV.UK rates. Check with a qualified accountant before you file.
