Automatic tax saving, how it works:

On your Tax Reserve account you'll see the familiar bar showing how much you should set aside for taxes. Until now you had to do this manually – from now on, it can happen automatically if you want it to.

What's new?

With the new "Automatic set aside" feature, you can have your tax reserves transferred automatically from your main account to your Tax Reserve account. No calculating, no remembering – it just runs in the background.

How to set it up

Go to your Tax Reserve account and tap the selection button. From there you can:

  • set the percentage: 90%, 100% or 110% of the calculated amount

As soon as the automation is active, you'll see it at a glance – the status is shown right in the account, so you never have to dig around to check.

How is the amount calculated?

The calculation is based on your cash available. That way you always stay in control of what gets moved.

Change it anytime

You're not locked in. Just tap "Manage it" again and you can:

  • adjust the percentage (e.g. switch from 100% to 90%)

  • turn the automation off completely

  • enable or disable it for individual taxes

Whether you're at your laptop or on the go with your phone: setup and management work the same way in the web version and the mobile app.

If your balance isn't enough

If there isn't enough money in your main account to set the amount aside automatically, we won't leave you hanging:

  • You'll get an email with a QR code so you can top up your account quickly

  • You'll also see a message directly in the app

That way you can react right away and your reserve stays on track.

They always answer right away to any question I have, they provide clear answers, and they are very patient even when I struggle to understand. They try to explain in different ways. They are very helpful, responsive and friendly.

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
