In development · first release: UK sole-trader Income Tax

Continuous tax assurance for UK accounting firms

Tax assurance, made continuous.

Levyloom is building the assurance layer that connects every material in-scope figure to its evidence, professional approval and the as-filed return—then surfaces relevant change within explicit coverage.

Product blueprint · illustrative view

Evidence, a reported figure, the as-filed record, and later change remain connected through one governed assurance loop.

The operating problem

Prove the position. Then preserve it.

Before filing, evidence fragments. At filing, the handoff can drift. After filing, relevant change can disappear from view. Levyloom is designed to keep that chain intact.

Product blueprint · illustrative view
Closed-loop assuranceOne position · every relevant version · one defensible history
Designed intent
01Before filing

Preserve & reconcile

Trace the figure to its supporting evidence.

Keep records, documents, calculations and decisions connected without rewriting the source.

02At filing

Approve & verify

Compare the as-filed return with the approved position.

Bind judgement to one exact version, then keep the as-filed record and available authority evidence distinct.

03After filing

Monitor & amend

Keep relevant change from disappearing.

Compare change with the active Filing Snapshot and open controlled review when action, judgement, uncertainty or recovery is required.

  • 01
    Assurance, not bookkeeping

    Evidence, figure support, review, filing continuity and monitoring are in scope.

  • 02
    Works alongside filing software

    Filing-capable, not filing-dependent: external filing remains supported; native Levyloom Submit is optional future scope.

  • 03
    No standing external accounts

    External participants receive only an expiring, purpose-bound request or authorised proof-pack link.

The continuous loop

Preserve. Reconcile. Approve. Verify. Monitor. Amend.

A filing is a checkpoint, not the end. Levyloom is designed to preserve the path into the return, verify what happened at filing and govern relevant change afterwards.

One discrepancy becomes a governed decision.

The source-backed figure and draft return disagree. Filing remains blocked.

What Levyloom preservesLevyloom isolates the difference, preserves why it matters and opens Figure Trace. It cannot be dismissed with a manual “mark resolved” action.
  1. 01

    Preserve source evidence

    Preserve immutable captured versions of original records and documents with attribution.

    Evidence lineageOriginal proof stays intact
  2. 02

    Reconcile facts and figures

    Resolve source meaning without editing financial rows or hiding uncertainty.

    Supported positionEvery material in-scope figure is explainable
  3. 03

    Approve the exact position

    Bind professional judgement to one frozen candidate, policy and named approver.

    Version-bound decisionThe approved position is exact
  4. 04

    Verify what was filed

    Compare the approved position with the actual as-filed return and evidence.

    Filing continuityDrift cannot disappear
  5. 05

    Monitor relevant change

    Compare new evidence and source change with the active Filing Snapshot.

    Explicit coverageOnly affected paths are reassessed
  6. 06

    Govern the amendment

    Preserve the original filing; only a verified amendment and sealed successor snapshot can become the active baseline.

Filing continuity

Approved, filed and observed stay distinct.

Levyloom is designed to compare the exact approved and as-filed positions, then attach only the authority evidence actually available. No state borrows certainty from another.

Figure Trace

From £86,700, follow the line back to proof.

Before filing, verified turnover is supported by 148 sales records, 147 bank matches and 146 documents. Explore this earlier source-evidence example to see why one missing invoice blocks the draft.

Select a point in the Figure Trace

Select a record to inspect its place in the evidence trail.

Trace point 01 · Original evidence

Invoice INV-2048

The £2,500 invoice is preserved with its original version, date and provenance.

Trace point 02 · Posted record

Ledger sale TX-7812

The invoice supports the posted ledger sale without replacing or editing the source row.

Trace point 03 · Reconciled

Bank receipt BT-6229

The sales record reconciles to a paid bank receipt, adding an independent support path.

Trace point 04 · Source-backed figure

Verified turnover £86,700

The figure is supported by 148 sales records, 147 bank matches and 146 documents.

Trace point 05 · Imported draft

Draft return £84,200

The draft remains a separate imported position and does not silently inherit the verified total.

Trace point 06 · Hard block

Difference £2,500

INV-2048 is absent from the draft return. Filing cannot progress until the contradiction is resolved.

Secure Request Pages

Request exactly what is missing—without another account.

An expiring request page exposes only the bounded question and preserves the response for firm review. External participants receive no standing Levyloom access in the initial product.

Firm-wide control

Professional control, without another task board.

Capability-gated actions, version-bound approvals, explicit coverage and immutable history keep professional accountability visible.

Product blueprint · illustrative control views

02
Exact approvals

Judgement binds to one immutable candidate.

Professional approval records who approved which exact version, under which policy and with what reason.

03
Coverage

Monitoring says only what its sources can support.

Freshness, scope, stale connectors and unobserved periods remain visible. Silence never becomes “no change”.

04
History & recovery

Later truth never rewrites the original filing.

A governed amendment preserves the first Filing Snapshot, then activates a successor baseline with complete lineage.

Trust boundaries

Confidence is earned in layers.

AI suggests. Professionals decide. History never gets rewritten. Coverage qualifies every claim. Filing and authority truth still require their own evidence.

Assurance truth

No layer borrows certainty from the next.

A captured source is not yet a governed fact. An approved position is not yet as filed. Monitoring cannot exceed its active coverage.
