Tax figures are rough estimates, not your tax bill (other income, Scottish bands and payments on account are not modelled: check GOV.UK or an accountant). No contract or terms and conditions template is included. Prices in £, UK English. The toolkit includes Tier 1 and Tier 2, so you don't need to buy them separately.

Created with AI assistance. General information for people freelancing or self-employed in the UK only. Fee, tax and legal points are as at October 2026 (checked on GOV.UK and other official pages on 17 October 2026; verify before you rely on them) and can change: always check the current official page and speak to an accountant or solicitor about your own situation. Not professional, legal, tax or financial advice.

No income, earnings, client or work results are promised or implied, and nothing here suggests you should leave a job. The worked example ("Plainleaf Copy") and its clients, rates and figures are invented and illustrative, not a forecast or income claim; results vary.
