Direct answers. No fluff.

Visit taskdrop.co.uk, enter your WhatsApp number, and confirm a 6-digit code we send you on WhatsApp. Then fill in a few business details (name, address, VAT setup if applicable) and you're live. Total time: 2–5 minutes.

No credit card. No app to download.

No. TaskDrop runs entirely inside WhatsApp — the app you (and your customers) already have. There's nothing to install, log into or learn. You message TaskDrop the same way you'd message a customer.

Open WhatsApp, message the TaskDrop number, tap Create doc → Invoice. TaskDrop asks a handful of short questions — customer name, job description, price — and generates a branded PDF you can send or download. Done in about 60 seconds.

Three ways to create an invoice or quote: tap through button menus, send a voice note describing the job, or send a photo of a handwritten job sheet. All three show a proof card before creating anything.

Every invoice shows you a proof card before sending — every figure laid out clearly. If something's wrong, tap Try Again or correct it on screen. Your customer only sees the final version when you tap Send.

If you've already sent it and need to amend, tap More → History in WhatsApp, find the invoice, and tap Edit. The customer gets a corrected PDF automatically.

If your phone runs WhatsApp, TaskDrop works. iOS, Android, even WhatsApp Web on a desktop. We don't have an app — the WhatsApp app you already have is the app.

TaskDrop is free, forever. No subscription, no monthly fee, no hidden usage cap.

Invoicing, quoting, job reports, and TaskDrop Pay are all included at no cost. The only thing we charge for is MTD (Making Tax Digital) quarterly submissions to HMRC — £80 per quarter. If you never use MTD, you never pay us anything.

There isn't one. MTD quarterly submissions to HMRC are £80/quarter. Everything else is free forever. That's the whole business model.

We do it this way because charging a monthly subscription would mean charging you whether you had a quiet month or a busy one. We didn't want to do that.

There's a fair-use limit of 25 documents per month. It lifts permanently after your first MTD submission. Most sole traders don't get near 25.

If you do hit the limit before then, email owen@taskdrop.co.uk — most requests are granted at no cost.

The MTD submission fee (£80/quarter) won't increase without notice. The free product won't suddenly become paid. If either ever needs to change — which we don't anticipate — you'll see it months in advance, in writing, on this page.

Yes — refer another tradesperson. Share your referral link (in your dashboard under Refer & Earn). When someone signs up through your link and completes their own first MTD submission, you earn one free MTD submission worth £80, applied automatically to your next one.

The reward only triggers when your referral makes a genuine completed submission, so it can't be gamed. (This activates once MTD submission is live in production.)

TaskDrop Pay displays your bank details on every invoice automatically — sort code, account number and payment reference. Your customer uses their banking app to pay you directly. They tap "I've received this invoice" to notify you, and you confirm payment via WhatsApp buttons. Free for everyone, forever.

Pay by bank transfer — direct to you. Free for everyone, forever.

None. TaskDrop Pay is completely free. Payments go directly from your customer's bank to yours. TaskDrop is never in the payment flow. There is no percentage fee, no per-transaction fee, and no fee of any kind.

No. Your bank details appear on every invoice by default — nothing to set up. TaskDrop also prints your sort code, account number, and bank name on every invoice, so customers can pay by manual bank transfer if they prefer. Either way, there's no cost to you.

Open Banking payments cannot be charged back. Once a customer authorises the payment in their banking app, it's done — there is no dispute mechanism. This is one of the biggest advantages over card payments for tradespeople.

Yes, automatically. Your sort code, account number, and bank name appear on every invoice PDF. You enter them once during onboarding (or in your dashboard Account tab) and they appear on every document from then on.

Yes. Go to your dashboard Account tab and enter your scheme and registration number — Gas Safe, NICEIC, NAPIT, ELECSA, WaterSafe, CIPHE, CSCS, FMB, TrustMark, CHAS, or Other. Once saved, it prints as a coloured badge in the footer of every invoice, quote, and job report automatically. You can also set it during onboarding.

Quotes — fixed price or hourly. Sent as a branded PDF; customers can accept by tapping a link.

Invoices — tax-compliant, with sequential reference numbers. Auto-generated from accepted quotes if you want.

Job reports — written records of site visits, inspections and work completed.

Every document is HMRC-compliant and includes the details required for VAT (if you're registered) and CIS (if applicable).

Yes. During setup you tell us if you're VAT registered, and on which scheme — Standard or Flat Rate. TaskDrop then handles the calculations on every quote and invoice automatically.

Standard VAT: 20% added to ex-VAT amounts. Flat Rate Scheme: VAT charged at 20% on invoices, but you pay HMRC at your flat-rate percentage. We track both numbers for you.

Not VAT registered (under £90k turnover)? TaskDrop just leaves VAT off — your invoices are clean.

If you work as a CIS subcontractor, TaskDrop deducts CIS from labour automatically. Invoice clearly shows: total labour, materials, CIS deduction (20% gross / 30% gross / 0% verified), and net amount payable.

Your contractor gets a clean invoice they can submit to HMRC. You keep records that match what they've deducted.

Yes. Hold record on WhatsApp and describe the job — "boiler service for Mrs Patel, £180" — and TaskDrop pulls out the customer name, work description and price. You confirm before anything's sent.

Any UK accent works: Scottish, Brummie, Scouse, Welsh, Geordie. Background noise on site is handled.

Yes. Send a photo of any handwritten job sheet, scribbled note, or typed receipt to TaskDrop on WhatsApp. AI reads it and extracts the customer name, address, job description, price, materials, and CIS flag. You then choose whether to create an invoice or a quote — and see a proof card before anything is generated.

Works with most handwriting in decent light. If anything's unclear or missing, TaskDrop asks you to fill it in. Full guide here.

Yes. Use the Money menu option and log your daily expenses when needed: "Fuel, £63."

All expenses are stored against your account in your dashboard. MTD submissions include your expenses pre-filled — £80/quarter. Mileage tracking is also available.

Yes — TaskDrop has MTD ITSA submission built and sandbox-tested. Production credentials have been applied for. Once approved, submissions will go live directly to HMRC. Your records are kept in MTD-ready format throughout, and the submission feature will activate automatically once approved.

Once live, you will connect your HMRC account once from the MTD Records tab. TaskDrop will aggregate your quarterly income and expenses and submit directly to HMRC's Making Tax Digital API in one tap. Re-authentication will be required before each submission for security. TaskDrop handles the quarterly updates only — the year-end Final Declaration is completed through HMRC-recognised year-end software or your accountant, since that's where reliefs and individual circumstances need professional judgement.

It is the only MTD ITSA software built around WhatsApp — invoice from your phone, submit quarterly returns from your dashboard.

If your income from self-employment is over £50,000 — you must comply from 6 April 2026. This means quarterly submissions to HMRC, starting with Q1 (6 April – 5 July 2026), due by 5 August 2026.

If your income is over £30,000 — mandatory from April 2027.

If your income is over £20,000 — mandatory from April 2028.

If you're not sure which threshold applies, speak to your accountant. If you're over £50,000 now and not yet set up, connect your HMRC account from the MTD Records tab in your dashboard today.

Every tradesperson on TaskDrop gets the same product free forever — invoicing, quotes, expenses, payment reminders, customer address book, job reports, CIS, and TaskDrop Pay. MTD quarterly submissions to HMRC are £80/quarter — everything else is included, free.

We don't have "Starter" and "Pro" tiers. There's TaskDrop. That's it.

Your business and customer data is stored in the EU (Ireland region, via Supabase). All of it is encrypted at rest and in transit. We don't move data outside the EU, ever.

TaskDrop is registered with the UK ICO (registration number ZC122710) and is UK GDPR compliant.

No. Never. Your invoices are yours, your customer list is yours. We don't share, license or sell aggregated insights either. The whole business model — TaskDrop free, MTD submissions £80/quarter — depends on you trusting us with this. So we don't betray that trust.

Visit your dashboard at taskdrop.co.uk/dashboard — tap the Account tab and scroll to Your data rights. You can permanently delete all your data instantly. No phone call, no retention dance, no exit fees.

Your data is retained for 30 days in case you change your mind, then permanently deleted unless you ask for an export first.

Yes — your GDPR data export is available anytime. Log into your dashboard at taskdrop.co.uk/dashboard and tap Export for a CSV of all your invoices, quotes, expenses and customer data.

Realistic question for a one-person business. If TaskDrop ever has to shut down — for any reason — we commit to giving every active user 90 days notice and a complete data export of everything they have on us. No data lost, no customer caught short.

This is in writing because it should be.

Once saved, it prints as a coloured badge in the footer of every invoice, quote, and job report automatically. You can also set it during onboarding.

Quotes — fixed price or hourly. Sent as a branded PDF; customers can accept by tapping a link.

Invoices — tax-compliant, with sequential reference numbers. Auto-generated from accepted quotes if you want.

Job reports — written records of site visits, inspections and work completed.

Every document is HMRC-compliant and includes the details required for VAT (if you're registered) and CIS (if applicable).

Yes. During setup you tell us if you're VAT registered, and on which scheme — Standard or Flat Rate. TaskDrop then handles the calculations on every quote and invoice automatically.

Standard VAT: 20% added to ex-VAT amounts. Flat Rate Scheme: VAT charged at 20% on invoices, but you pay HMRC at your flat-rate percentage. We track both numbers for you.

Not VAT registered (under £90k turnover)? TaskDrop just leaves VAT off — your invoices are clean.

If you work as a CIS subcontractor, TaskDrop deducts CIS from labour automatically. Invoice clearly shows: total labour, materials, CIS deduction (20% gross / 30% gross / 0% verified), and net amount payable.

Your contractor gets a clean invoice they can submit to HMRC. You keep records that match what they've deducted.

Yes. Hold record on WhatsApp and describe the job — "boiler service for Mrs Patel, £180" — and TaskDrop pulls out the customer name, work description and price. You confirm before anything's sent.

Any UK accent works: Scottish, Brummie, Scouse, Welsh, Geordie. Background noise on site is handled.

Yes. Send a photo of any handwritten job sheet, scribbled note, or typed receipt to TaskDrop on WhatsApp. AI reads it and extracts the customer name, address, job description, price, materials, and CIS flag. You then choose whether to create an invoice or a quote — and see a proof card before anything is generated.

Works with most handwriting in decent light. If anything's unclear or missing, TaskDrop asks you to fill it in. Full guide here.

Yes. Use the Money menu option and log your daily expenses when needed: "Fuel, £63."

All expenses are stored against your account in your dashboard. MTD submissions include your expenses pre-filled — £80/quarter. Mileage tracking is also available.

Yes — TaskDrop has MTD ITSA submission built and sandbox-tested. Production credentials have been applied for. Once approved, submissions will go live directly to HMRC. Your records are kept in MTD-ready format throughout, and the submission feature will activate automatically once approved.

Once live, you will connect your HMRC account once from the MTD Records tab. TaskDrop will aggregate your quarterly income and expenses and submit directly to HMRC's Making Tax Digital API in one tap. Re-authentication will be required before each submission for security. TaskDrop handles the quarterly updates only — the year-end Final Declaration is completed through HMRC-recognised year-end software or your accountant, since that's where reliefs and individual circumstances need professional judgement.

It is the only MTD ITSA software built around WhatsApp — invoice from your phone, submit quarterly returns from your dashboard.

If your income from self-employment is over £50,000 — you must comply from 6 April 2026. This means quarterly submissions to HMRC, starting with Q1 (6 April – 5 July 2026), due by 5 August 2026.

If your income is over £30,000 — mandatory from April 2027.

If your income is over £20,000 — mandatory from April 2028.

If you're not sure which threshold applies, speak to your accountant. If you're over £50,000 now and not yet set up, connect your HMRC account from the MTD Records tab in your dashboard today.

Every tradesperson on TaskDrop gets the same product free forever — invoicing, quotes, expenses, payment reminders, customer address book, job reports, CIS, and TaskDrop Pay. MTD quarterly submissions to HMRC are £80/quarter — everything else is included, free.

We don't have "Starter" and "Pro" tiers. There's TaskDrop. That's it.

Your business and customer data is stored in the EU (Ireland region, via Supabase). All of it is encrypted at rest and in transit. We don't move data outside the EU, ever.

TaskDrop is registered with the UK ICO (registration number ZC122710) and is UK GDPR compliant.

No. Never. Your invoices are yours, your customer list is yours. We don't share, license or sell aggregated insights either. The whole business model — TaskDrop free, MTD submissions £80/quarter — depends on you trusting us with this. So we don't betray that trust.

Visit your dashboard at taskdrop.co.uk/dashboard — tap the Account tab and scroll to Your data rights. You can permanently delete all your data instantly. No phone call, no retention dance, no exit fees.

Your data is retained for 30 days in case you change your mind, then permanently deleted unless you ask for an export first.

Yes — your GDPR data export is available anytime. Log into your dashboard at taskdrop.co.uk/dashboard and tap Export for a CSV of all your invoices, quotes, expenses and customer data.

Realistic question for a one-person business. If TaskDrop ever has to shut down — for any reason — we commit to giving every active user 90 days notice and a complete data export of everything they have on us. No data lost, no customer caught short.

This is in writing because it should be.
