What It Is

Taxibooks is a tax calculation app for taxi drivers, with the core goal of helping drivers record income, manage expenses, track mileage, and prepare self-assessment tax returns. Its positioning is highly vertical: it is not general-purpose accounting software, but a tool designed around the self-employed tax workflow of the taxi industry.

Core Features

In terms of features, the Standard plan covers the basics of tax management: self-assessment preparation, income tax estimates, income/expense management, and mileage tracking. Pro adds receipt photo storage, performance reports, multi-company support, and chat support, making it more suitable for drivers with more complex operating records. Premium further adds priority support, tax investigation protection, LLP chartered accountant support, and personal tax advice, targeting users who want a stronger professional tax safety net.

Pricing and Plans

The product uses a subscription model, with both monthly and annual billing available. Standard costs £4.99/month or £49.99/year, Pro costs £8.99/month or £84.99/year, and Premium costs £19.99/month or £209.99/year. Overall, the entry price is relatively low, and annual billing offers some discount. The main content does not mention a free plan or free trial, so the trial cost and refund policy cannot be assessed.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are its focused use case, transparent pricing, and coverage of common taxi driver needs around income, expenses, mileage, receipts, and tax filing. Premium also provides tax investigation protection and accountant support, adding a stronger service component. The main drawbacks are that public information does not clarify data security, privacy compliance, third-party integrations, API availability, mobile app format, or deployment model. For team collaboration, only multi-company support is mentioned; there is no visible support for member permissions or approval workflows.

Who It’s For

Taxibooks is best suited to taxi drivers, self-employed drivers, and small driver-operated businesses in the UK or in a pound sterling tax environment, for day-to-day bookkeeping and self-assessment preparation. If a business needs a full accounting system, invoice automation, bank integrations, an open API, or multinational tax compliance, it may need to evaluate more general accounting platforms such as QuickBooks Self-Employed, Xero, or FreeAgent.

Access from China and Alternatives

The main content does not provide information on access from China, payment methods, or localization, so actual availability is unknown. For drivers or micro businesses in mainland China, the domestic tax system and filing processes are different, so Taxibooks may have limited suitability. Local finance and tax tools such as Kingdee Jingdou Cloud and Yonyou Changjietong Haokuaiji may be more appropriate.
