Overview

Record OS is a UK tax-tech platform for Self Assessment and Making Tax Digital. It provides an end-to-end workflow for accounting firms, covering client data collection, AI-enabled working papers, client approvals, and HMRC submission.

The platform is designed to replace manual tax-season workflows such as email back-and-forth, spreadsheets, manual data entry, and disconnected systems. It uses OCR and AI to extract and pre-fill client data, helping firms reduce manual work, improve accuracy, manage review processes, and track submission status across Self Assessment clients.

For individual taxpayers, Record OS offers online Self Assessment filing with review by a qualified accountant before submission to HMRC. Users complete a questionnaire and upload documents, the platform prepares the return, an accountant reviews it, and the return is submitted once approved.

Overall, Record OS combines tax workflow software, AI-assisted document processing, and accountant review to make UK tax filing faster, more structured, and easier to manage at scale.
