TAX2U LIMITED

Tax2u, tax and accounting services for UK sole traders and companies

Tax2u Limited is a UK-based tax and accounting services firm serving sole traders, construction industry subcontractors, VAT-registered businesses and limited companies. Its catalogue covers twelve HMRC services, including registrations, returns and claims, and it presents itself as a registered agent with the British tax authority.

The firm states that every file is reviewed by a qualified accountant rather than relying solely on software, and that it applies fixed prices per service with no hourly charges or unexpected invoices. According to the data it publishes, it has accumulated more than 8,797 Trustpilot reviews with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5, has returned £4.6 million in rebates to clients and has processed 15,459 returns and refunds.

UTR registration and first steps as a sole trader

For those who have just started self-employment, Tax2u handles the UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference) application with HMRC, the number that identifies the taxpayer for self assessment. The company states that its registration service confirms the UTR in around ten working days, compared with the two to three weeks it says the direct process on gov.uk requires. This service is complemented by registration as a sole trader and the filing of the first tax return.

CIS subcontractors: registration, returns and refunds

One of the firm's core areas is support for subcontractors under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), the construction sector regime under which contractors deduct 20% or 30% from payments. Tax2u manages CIS registration, files the annual self assessment and claims back from HMRC the refund of deductions that exceed the actual tax liability. The company estimates the average refund processed at £1,800, with a recorded maximum of £7,500, and the total returned to date at £4.6 million. It also offers CIS contractor registration and monthly return filing.

VAT, accounting and limited companies

For businesses that exceed the turnover threshold or choose to register voluntarily, the firm handles VAT registration, quarterly return filing and Making Tax Digital for VAT compliance. On the corporate side, it deals with limited company incorporation at Companies House, filing of the annual confirmation statement, and bookkeeping and annual accounts. The catalogue is completed with bookkeeping services, PAYE claims, marriage claims and PAYE registration.

Making Tax Digital for sole traders and landlords

Tax2u notes that Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment will be mandatory from April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with income over £50,000, requiring quarterly digital submissions to HMRC instead of a single annual return. The firm offers registration for the system, management of quarterly submissions and migration of records, as well as maintaining compliance with the client's other tax obligations.

Plans, pricing and method of work

The company structures its offering into two subscription plans. The Silver plan starts at £24 per month (£288 per year) plus VAT and includes the annual self assessment tax return, document storage and email support. The Gold plan, at £30 per month, adds accounting software, MTD quarterly submissions, phone support and a dedicated account manager. The sign-up process is online: the client chooses the service, uploads documents such as P60 payslips, invoices, receipts or bank statements to a client dashboard, and the firm files the return or claims the refund with HMRC, with confirmation and tracking from that same dashboard.

HMRC deadlines the firm covers

Tax2u details the deadlines it manages for its clients: the annual self assessment tax return, which must be filed before midnight on 31 January; the monthly CIS return, which contractors must submit before the 19th of each month; quarterly VAT returns and payments, due one month and seven days after the end of each quarter; the second payment on account on 31 July, applicable when the tax bill exceeds £1,000; and the confirmation statement for limited companies, which must be filed at Companies House within 14 days of the anniversary of the review period. The firm reminds that HMRC late-filing penalties start at £100 and escalate quickly.
