Plans
Upload what you have. We keep the books.
Send us booking exports, bank statements and receipts as they arrive. We keep the books, prepare what is due, from Making Tax Digital updates to your year-end figures, and tell you what it means. Edinburgh hosts get the quarterly visitor levy return included; if the levy is all you need, there are two plans for just that.
Send it as it is. Exports, statements, photos, messages.
Six plans. One upload box.
Prices exclude VAT. Every plan includes a set number of properties, with a per-property price beyond that. Cancel any time. ASSC members: first quarter free on both levy plans with your member code.

How it works
Your job is to upload. Ours is everything after that.
Step 1
Pick a plan and pay by card
Two minutes. No password: we email you a sign-in link.
Step 2
Answer six questions once
VAT, whether your prices include the levy, cleaning, platform commission, how you take bookings, any bookings paid for before 1 October 2025.
Step 3
Upload your booking export
Airbnb: Earnings, Get report, CSV. Booking.com: Reservations, Download. Or any spreadsheet with dates and prices.
Step 4
We do the quarterly job
Figures in the Council's own field names within minutes, with workings. On Submission Service and above, we file it for you and send the confirmation.
Questions
What do I need to send you?
Whatever you have, in whatever state. Booking exports from each platform, bank and card statements, supplier invoices, photographs of receipts, and forwarded emails all go into one upload box in your client account, or you can email them. Exports are read automatically; everything else is reviewed by a bookkeeper within two working days. We ask you a question only when something cannot be placed.
Do I need accounting software?
No. We keep your books in cloud accounting software and the subscription is included in your plan. If you already use Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent we can work in your existing file as your adviser rather than moving you, provided the records are usable. Either way you see your figures through your client account.
I already have an accountant. How do I switch?
Sign up, then tell us who your current accountant is. We write to them for professional clearance and ask for your records, which is the standard process between practices and usually takes a week or two. There is no gap in cover: if a filing falls due during the handover we prepare it from the records you give us.
Can I start part-way through a tax year, or with a backlog?
Yes. We rebuild the year to date from platform exports and bank statements, and pick up from there. Where more than one earlier year needs to be brought up to date we quote a fixed catch-up fee before starting, so there is no open-ended bill.
How do you deal with HMRC on my behalf?
At sign-up you authorise us to act as your agent. For Self Assessment that is HMRC's online agent authorisation; for Making Tax Digital it is a digital handshake through our agent services account. Each takes you a few minutes and we guide you through it. We prepare every filing, you approve it, and only then is it submitted.
Will you file the levy return for me?
Yes, on Levy Submission Service and on every Accounts plan. You give us a signed authority at sign-up, we prepare the return from your booking exports, you approve it, and we submit it as your agent and send you the Council's confirmation and the amount to pay. If you prefer to file yourself, Levy Self-Service gives you the exact figures to enter.
How are fees charged?
By monthly subscription, taken by card through Stripe, with the two levy-only plans also available quarterly. Prices exclude VAT. Every plan includes a set number of properties and a fixed price for each additional one, so you can see the cost before you start. There is no onboarding fee; the only extra is a quoted catch-up fee if more than one earlier year needs to be brought up to date.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time, from your client account. Monthly plans end at the end of the month in which you cancel and quarterly plans at the end of the quarter. You keep access to every return, every set of accounts and all the workings behind them.
What happens to my data?
Booking exports contain guests' names, so we treat them with care: they are used only to prepare your figures, are seen only by the team doing your books, and are retained for six years, which covers HMRC's record-keeping requirement and the five years required for visitor levy returns. Bank statements and invoices are handled the same way. We never use guest details for marketing or share them with anyone else.
