Why people switch from Coconut to EasyTax
It’s actually free — not a 14-day trial
Coconut’s free tier is a 14-day trial. After that you’re on £99.99 – £159.99/year whether you file or not. EasyTax has no subscription at all — you pay £20 + VAT (£24 inc. VAT) only when you actually submit to HMRC, and nothing to sign up.
You can file company tax (CT600), not just sole trader
Coconut is built for sole traders, landlords and CIS subcontractors. If you have a limited company, you still need a separate tool for CT600, Balance Sheet and P&L. EasyTax does all of it in one place.
VAT returns are first-class, not missing
Coconut focuses on Income Tax. If you’re VAT-registered, EasyTax files MTD VAT returns directly to HMRC.
AI does the reconciliation, not you
EasyTax uses Claude to categorise every transaction and answer questions about your books in plain English. Coconut’s categorisation is rule-based.
When Coconut might be a better fit
We want to be honest: Coconut has been around longer and there are scenarios where it wins.
- You’re a CIS subcontractor and need CIS-specific tooling today (EasyTax is adding this).
- You want a polished native iOS/Android app (EasyTax is a mobile-optimised web app).
- You bank with Zempler — Coconut bundles 2 years free with a Zempler business account.
- Your accountant already uses Coconut’s accountant portal.
For everyone else — especially sole traders who don’t want to pay £100+/year, and limited companies that need CT600 — EasyTax is the simpler, cheaper choice.
FAQ
How much does EasyTax cost?+
EasyTax charges £20 + VAT (£24 inc. VAT) per HMRC submission. No monthly subscription — you only pay when you file. Early-access signups lock in this founder price for life. Connecting your bank and HMRC accounts is free.
Is EasyTax MTD ITSA-ready?+
Yes. EasyTax sends quarterly updates and final declarations to HMRC via the official MTD ITSA API. We are completing HMRC production approval before live submissions are enabled.
Can I migrate from Coconut?+
Yes. Sign up free, connect your bank via Open Banking, and your transactions import automatically. There’s nothing to export from Coconut — you simply start fresh and we backfill from your bank.
Does EasyTax support Self Assessment (SA100)?+
Yes — including SA100, employment income, self-employment (SA103), property income (SA105), and dividends. We file directly to HMRC.
Does EasyTax support limited companies?+
Yes — that’s the biggest gap vs Coconut. EasyTax does VAT returns (MTD VAT), CT600 Corporation Tax, Balance Sheet, and P&L for UK limited companies.
Is the per-filing price locked in?+
