LONDON, United Kingdom - 27 November, 2025 - Across the UK, freelancers are gaining new confidence in managing their taxes thanks to a wave of intuitive digital tools designed specifically for self-employed workers. As the number of freelancers rises past 4.2 million nationwide, many are turning to modern tax apps that offer clarity, accuracy and real-time guidance without the traditional stress.
Recent data from Pie, one of the UK’s most widely used digital tax platforms, shows a surge in freelancers adopting app-based tools to file self-assessment, organise expenses and estimate their tax bill instantly.
“Freelancers want financial control, not confusion,” said Tommy Mcnally, Founder of Pie. “Digital tax apps are empowering people to understand their numbers, avoid mistakes and finally feel on top of their tax responsibilities.”
Why Freelancers Are Switching to Digital Tax Tools
For years, UK freelancers have struggled with scattered receipts, inconsistent income and complicated HMRC rules. Traditional accounting setups often proved too slow or too expensive.
But the latest generation of tax apps is changing everything.
Today’s most widely used tax apps offer features that freelancers say they’ve needed for years:
-
Real-time tax calculations
-
Automatic expense tracking
-
Support for multiple income types
-
Guided self-assessment filing
-
Instant HMRC submissions
-
Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
This shift mirrors the wider national trend towards digital tax solutions and modern financial tools built for flexible, independent work.
A Relief for Creative, Tech and Service-Based Freelancers
From designers and developers to photographers, tutors, contractors and tradespeople, freelancers across every sector are embracing simple, app-based tools to manage their finances more confidently.
Pie’s platform designed specifically to simplify digital tax has seen some of the strongest growth among freelancers managing irregular income. Users report saving hours of admin each month while reducing the risk of miscalculations or penalties.
“Tax used to feel overwhelming, especially with multiple clients,” said Claire, a freelance illustrator from Manchester. “Now I can track everything from my phone and know exactly what I owe. It’s a game-changer.”
Digital Tax Is Becoming the New Normal
As freelancers seek more independence and financial clarity, digital tax tools are increasingly becoming essential rather than optional. With HMRC supporting compatible software for online submissions, app-based filing is fast becoming the standard for the UK’s self-employed community.
Pie’s mission “It’s your money. Claim it.” continues to resonate with thousands of freelancers who want control, simplicity and accuracy all in one place.
