Why Freelancers Rely On Us
Trusted by thousands of freelancers across the UK
RentalBux finally gave me peace of mind.
Even after trying several tools, I was struggling with my portfolio of three rentals. MTD just added to that struggle. But then, I was introduced and all my worries disappeared. MTD submissions in minutes, track each property separately, allocate profit sharing. Wow!
Built for landlords, used by landlords.
As a landlord managing 12 units across two ownership structures and some self-employment income, I needed something that handled everything. RentalBux was the only software that did that.
Time saved.
Switching to RentalBux was one of the best decisions I made. Especially the joint-ownership module. Our family property had three owners with different shares, and RentalBux handled it quite efficiently.

Real challenges freelancers face, and how RentalBux solves them
| Real challenges Freelancer face | How RentalBux solves it |
|---|---|
| Income scattered across platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, PeoplePerHour, TaskRabbit, Deliveroo, Uber, or Etsy. You never know your exact total income for tax reporting. | Digital bookkeeping and freelancer MTD software help you consolidate platform income, expenses, and subscriptions into one HMRC-ready system. |
| Platform commissions reduce actual earnings, and freelancers struggle to calculate taxable income after fees. | Track gross income + platform fees automatically so the deductible expense is recorded for tax. |
| Recurring software subscriptions (Adobe, Canva, Figma, Zoom, Notion, Grammarly, domain hosting) get missed during manual bookkeeping. | Software subscriptions are auto-categorised as allowable business expenses, helping reduce taxable profits. |
| Business equipment and upgrades (laptop, phone, accessories) are not logged properly for capital allowances. | Allows equipment purchases to be tracked as business assets and automatically applies the correct MTD expense category. |
| Home-office and travel expenses are difficult to separate from personal spending. | Smart tagging for mileage, workspace costs, and travel. Export totals directly into quarterly MTD reports. |
| Spreadsheets are error-prone and hard to maintain. Many freelancers discover mistakes during year-end Self-Assessment. | Digital bookkeeping for freelancers ensures clean categorised data ready for HMRC. |
