Tax years are tidy, but the questions you get asked are not. A mortgage adviser wants the last six months. Your accountant wants January to March. You want to know how the summer wedding season really went. Until now the tax report only spoke in whole tax years.
The other everyday job is marking a gig as paid. When the full balance lands in your account, you should not have to type the amount back in.
What’s new
Custom range on the tax report. Switch from a tax year to any start and end date, and see income and expenses for just that period.
Mark as paid in full. One button on a gig settles whatever is still outstanding.
How to use it
Open Money, go to the Tax tab and switch from Tax year to Custom range. Choose your dates and the summary updates.
One thing to know. Mileage is left out of a custom range, because the HMRC rate depends on your total miles across the whole tax year. Estimated tax and National Insurance are worked out on the full year too. Tap See your full tax year to get back to those.
On a gig with money still owed, tap Mark as paid in full. The button shows the amount it will record, for example Mark as paid in full · £350.00, so you can see what you are confirming before you tap.
Why it matters
Being able to pull six months of figures on your phone saves an evening with a spreadsheet. And a gig that is marked paid the moment the money arrives is one fewer thing to chase, or to wonder about, at the end of the month.
