Sole Traders and Directors of a Limited Company can use Tide Accounting. 

To use Tide Accounting for Self Assessment, you must be a Sole Trader who is not using the construction industry scheme. 

To use Tide Accounting for submitting your VAT return, you must be a VAT registered business and not using the VAT Flat Rate Scheme.

When you add a category to your transactions, Tide Accounting automatically matches these categories to HMRC’s self assessment SA103 Business Income and Business Expenses categories. This means your Self Assessment estimate is based on your Tide bank account transactions, plus any other transactions you’ve added manually to the estimate. You can connect your business bank accounts from other providers, as well as your Tide accounts, to Tide’s accounting add-ons. This will allow you to view and manage all your accounting and transactions in one place. Read more about the accounting add-ons we offer here.

When you add VAT to your transactions, Tide Accounting automatically calculates the amount of VAT you have paid, and the amount of VAT you have charged your customers.
