For freelancers

The tax assistant built for freelancers

TaxOrch is freelancer tax help that works through the year, not just at filing time. It estimates what to set aside for advance or quarterly payments, reads your invoices and receipts to find deductible expenses, handles several clients and currencies, and reminds you before each deadline, with sources for every answer.

How much should I set aside for tax?

Nobody withholds tax from freelance income, so most countries expect you to pay during the year: quarterly estimated tax in the US, payments on account in the UK, advance tax in India. TaxOrch estimates the amount from your year-to-date income and expenses, shows the working, and reminds you before each due date. See the tax calculator.

Which expenses can I deduct?

The rules differ by country, but equipment, software, a qualifying home office, professional fees and business travel are common candidates. Upload receipts and invoices and TaxOrch categorises them, asks about anything ambiguous, and cites the rule it applied. Try the deduction finder and document upload.

What if I have several clients or get paid in other currencies?

Many freelancers work for clients abroad or through platforms that pay in another currency. TaxOrch keeps income from each client and platform together, flags where foreign income or VAT/GST registration may matter, and says when a cross-border question needs an adviser.
