When you're self-employed, your income hits your account in full — but a chunk of it isn't really yours.
That's how VAT quietly gets spent and why quarterly bills feel painful.
VAT Aside makes that invisible VAT visible — week by week.
"VAT isn't income. It's money you're holding for HMRC."

Tools like Xero, FreeAgent, and QuickBooks are great at calculating and filing VAT.
VAT Aside focuses on something different:
making sure the cash is actually there when the bill arrives.
Tells you what you owe
Tells you what to set aside, week by week
It doesn't replace your accounting software and doesn't submit VAT returns.
It works alongside the tools you already use to turn VAT into a simple weekly habit — not a quarterly surprise.
See your net VAT position each week — we estimate your input VAT from detected business expenses so your weekly VAT amount reflects what you actually owe.
See which expenses were detected and how they reduce your VAT bill.
You can review and adjust expenses before your VAT return.
Output VAT minus Input VAT shows what you actually need to put aside, giving you a clearer picture of your real VAT position week by week.
So the weekly amount you set aside reflects what you actually owe — not just what you've earned.
Estimated VAT — actual amounts will be confirmed when you file your official VAT return.
