On your Tax Reserve account, you can 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.
This article explains what the automatic tax saving feature does, how to set it up, how the amount is calculated, and what happens if your balance runs low.
What's new?
With the "Automatic set aside" feature, Accountable transfers your tax reserves automatically from your main account to your Tax Reserve account. No calculating, no remembering: it runs in the background.
How do you 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
Once the automation is active, you can see its status at a glance directly in the account, with no need to dig around to check.
How is the amount calculated?
The calculation is based on your available cash. That way you always stay in control of what gets moved.
Can you change it later?
You are 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 are 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.
What happens if your balance is not enough?
If there is not enough money in your main account to set the amount aside automatically, Accountable notifies you right away:
You get an email with a QR code so you can top up your account quickly
You also see a message directly in Accountable
This way you can react immediately and keep your reserve on track.

The amount is based on your available cash.
