FOR SELF-EMPLOYED HAIRDRESSERS AND BARBERS
From regular appointments to a busy Saturday, keep client payments, business expenses and receipts together—and see an estimate of your tax.
No monthly subscription. No bank connection.
Sole trader, we’ve got your back.
A client pays by card. Another pays cash. You restock products, pay your chair rent and buy new tools. When you’ve been on your feet all day, the last thing you need is a pile of paperwork.
TaxSnapper gives you one place to record what came in and what you spent, so bookkeeping doesn’t become another job when you get home.
Record payments from cuts, colours, styling and grooming appointments as you go. Cash or bank payments can all be recorded in the same place.
Whether a customer pays cash or by bank transfer, add the payment yourself. Review your recorded income and expenses without piecing together notebooks and spreadsheets.
Useful for: keeping track of earnings across different clients and jobs.
Keep product purchases, scissors, clippers and other business expenses organised. Photograph receipts and attach them to your recorded expenses.
Look back over your transactions and find attached receipts when you need them. For costs shared between work and personal use, record the appropriate business share.
Useful for: keeping records of chair rental, professional products and tools.
Busy weeks feel better when you have a clearer view of your business figures. TaxSnapper uses your recorded income and expenses to show an estimate of your tax.
Check your estimate as you add records, helping you plan ahead instead of leaving everything until Self Assessment.
Your estimate depends on accurate records and your circumstances. It is a guide, rather than a final HMRC calculation.
Less chasing receipts. Less adding up at the last minute. For hairdressers & barbers, TaxSnapper turns the income and expenses you record throughout the year into clear reports you can use when tax paperwork comes round.
End of year Self Assessment report
Bring your recorded business income, expenses and profit together for the tax year. Use the figures to help complete the self-employment part of your Self Assessment return, or share them with your accountant.
Quarterly reports
Export your recorded income and expense figures for each quarter. Review your business as you go and share your records with your accountant or use them with compatible software as part of your Making Tax Digital preparation.

Keep your records up to date today, so there is less to sort out at the deadline. TaxSnapper provides reports and exports; your tax return and MTD updates are submitted separately through the appropriate service, compatible software or your accountant.
Keep appointment takings, retail sales and business costs identifiable. If you rent a chair, the amount left after rent is not automatically the sales figure to put in your records.
Customers pay £600 for appointments and products. A payment provider retains £12 of fees, leaving £588 paid to your bank. With £90 of qualifying product costs, starting profit is £498 before chair rent, other costs and tax. Record £600 income and the £12 fee separately rather than losing the fee inside the bank payout.
If a salon collects money on your behalf, use the agreement and settlement statement to identify your actual income and costs. Do not assume every chair-rental or commission arrangement works the same way.
These are simplified bookkeeping illustrations before tax and any further adjustments. Read the hairdresser and barber expenses guide for conditions and exclusions, then see how to work out profit.
Keep entries up to date so your quarterly reports and end of year Self Assessment report start with figures you can check. TaxSnapper exports your recorded figures; tax returns and MTD updates are submitted separately.
