UK accounting and bookkeeping firms needing a solution to handle tax returns, accounts production and VAT compliance
About BrightTax
BrightTax is a cloud-based tax and accounts-production platform built for UK-based accounting practices that combines Self-Assessment, Corporation Tax, Annual Accounts, and VAT into one integrated solution. It enables you to file individual tax returns (SA100, SA800, SA900) with built-in calculators, real-time error checks, and HMRC validation alerts, and to prepare corporation-tax returns (CT600, supplementary forms) with automatic data population, capital-allowances calculations, and one-click iXBRL tagging. The accounts-production module supports sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies with compliant templates including FRS 102 1A and FRS 105, full integration with Companies House and HMRC, and data imports from major bookkeeping systems. A live dashboard gives you client-task status and deadlines, plus client-filtering and search tools. The system is fully cloud-native, supports integrations with HMRC, Companies House, and bookkeeping software.
