For sole traders, including CIS

Your tax admin, done as you work.

Graft logs your miles, files your receipts, builds your invoices and keeps the digital records Making Tax Digital asks for, while you are out earning. On CIS? It tracks every deduction and what is due back. Built for the van, the round and the job, not the desk.

Free for 7 days, then £9.99 + VAT a month. Most people claim back more than that. Cancel anytime.

How much could you get back?

If CIS comes off your payments before they reach you, three questions will show roughly what is owed back. No email, no account, and we show you the working. Not on CIS? Everything else here still applies to you.

Before CIS was taken off. A rough figure is fine.

This is an estimate based only on the figures you typed in, and it is not tax advice. It does not know about any other income, your tax code, or payments on account you have already made. Graft works the real number out from your actual invoices, receipts and CIS statements once they are in.

Everything on one app

The tax admin you actually need, and nothing you do not.

Graft was built around the Construction Industry Scheme, not bolted on afterwards. Every number is worked out the way HMRC expects.

Snap a receipt

Photograph materials, fuel and tools. Graft reads the total and files it against the right expense category — even with no signal on site.

Automatic mileage

Drive to a job and Graft logs the trip in the background. Swipe business or personal — that's your 55p-a-mile relief captured, no logbook.

CIS-correct invoices

Labour, materials, the 20% or 30% deduction and reverse-charge VAT — worked out for you, with your logo, UTR and National Insurance number on every invoice. Email it straight to the contractor.

File with HMRC

Quarterly Making Tax Digital updates and your year-end declaration, sent from the app — with the exact figures you've been building all year.

Refund, not a tax bill

If you are on CIS, tax already comes off your payments, so money is usually owed back. Graft shows what is likely coming, all year, not a nasty surprise in January.

Your accountant, connected

Link your accountant and they see your records in real time, message you about a receipt, and pull a complete set of working papers. No more shoebox in January.

How it works

Three habits. Graft does the tax.

Log it as you go

Snap receipts, let mileage track itself, and record what each contractor paid you. Thirty seconds on the way to the van.

Watch your position

The Home screen always shows what you're likely owed back — updated every time you log something. No spreadsheets, no guessing.

File and get paid

Send CIS-correct invoices, file Making Tax Digital, and let your accountant finish the return from the records already in Graft.

For accountants

A whole client book, always ready for the deadline.

The Graft portal is free. Invite your subcontractor clients and their records come to you clean — reconciled CIS statements, categorised expenses, a mileage log, and a full accounts pack you can export to Excel.

  • Every client's records live — messiest books surface first, before January.
  • One-click accounts pack: SA103F summary, capital allowances, adjustments, comparatives.
  • Raise a query on a specific receipt; your client replies from their phone.
  • Lock a quarter once it's reviewed — the records freeze, with the client's approval on record.
