When Does My TinyTax Subscription Start?

You don't need to subscribe when you create your TinyTax account. You can sign up, add your companies, and prepare your figures completely free. You only need to subscribe when you're ready to submit your filings.

When Billing Starts

Your subscription billing begins on the date you subscribe — not when you create your account. If your filing is not due for several months, you can set up your account in advance and subscribe later when you need to submit.

Once subscribed, your plan renews annually from the date of your original subscription. For example, if you subscribe on 1 December 2026, your next renewal is 1 December 2027.

Choosing the Right Plan

TinyTax offers three plans:

  • Dormant — For companies with no trading activity (CT600 + Accounts submitted to both HMRC and Companies House)
  • Solo — For one trading company
  • Portfolio — Unlimited company filings, ideal if you have more than one company
Portfolio is priced per user, per year — not per company. If you are the only user, you pay the portfolio price once a year and can file for as many companies as you need. This includes dormant companies, so there is no need for a separate dormant subscription if you already have a Portfolio subscription.

Common Questions

Can I use Portfolio as a single user?

Yes. Portfolio is suitable for individuals managing multiple companies as well as for teams. The "per user, per year" pricing means a single user pays the portfolio price once and gets unlimited filings for all their companies.

Does Portfolio cover dormant companies?

Yes. A Portfolio subscription covers all your companies — trading and dormant. You do not need a separate dormant subscription if you have Portfolio.

Do I need to subscribe before adding companies?

No. You can add companies and enter your figures without subscribing. You only need to pay when you are ready to click Submit.

When will I be charged?

You are charged when you subscribe — not when you create your account or prepare your filing. TinyTax does not charge you for exploring the service.
