Self-employed bookkeeping shouldn't eat your evenings
Most software is built for accountants and companies with payroll. A self-employed person needs very little: issue an invoice, log an expense, and know how much to set aside for tax. Bilenta Solo does exactly that.
What's included
Invoices & e-invoices
Send a PDF invoice to your client, or a Peppol e-invoice to public bodies — no separate Peppol access point needed.
Bank statement → declaration
Import your statement and the app suggests what's income, a business expense, or personal. You just confirm.
Contributions & income tax
See your social contributions and estimated income tax under the 2026 self-employed rules.
Expense deductions
Car, home office, phone — the app knows the legal shares (50–70% car, floor area, 70% phone) and won't let you over-claim.
VAT threshold monitor
Get warned as your turnover approaches €50,000 — in time, not after.
Deadline reminders
Quarterly contributions and the annual declaration — we remind you.

Frequently asked questions
- Do the self-employed need accounting software?
- The law doesn't require a specific tool, but a self-employed person must record income and expenses and file a declaration once a year. Software automates the calculations and reports so nothing is missed and tax isn't over- or under-declared.
- How does a self-employed person do bookkeeping?
- On a single-entry basis: record income and the expenses related to it. Bilenta Solo lets you import your bank statement and sorts the transactions automatically, so you just confirm and get ready tax figures.
- How much tax does a self-employed person pay in 2026?
- Social contributions are 31.07% on at least €780/month, plus 10% for pension on income above that base, and income tax of 25.5% on annual profit after the non-taxable minimum (€550/month). The exact amount depends on your profit — use our calculator.
- When must a self-employed person register for VAT?
- When turnover reaches €50,000 in a calendar year. Bilenta Solo monitors your turnover and warns you as you approach the threshold, so registration isn't late.
- Can I issue e-invoices to public bodies?
- Yes. Bilenta produces Peppol BIS 3.0 / EN 16931 e-invoices for public bodies. Since 1 January 2025, e-invoices are mandatory for B2G transactions.
- Which expenses can the self-employed deduct?
- Expenses related to the business. Mixed personal/business costs are only partly deductible: a personal car 50% (up to 70% with route logs), home costs by work-area share, phone usually 70%. Bilenta Solo applies the correct shares automatically.

- You can start with a 40-day free trial, no card required. See current pricing when you sign up.
