Can I use Keel in the UK if I am not VAT registered?
Yes. Most UK sole traders and 1–5 person crews are below the VAT registration threshold. Keel lets you issue clean non-VAT GBP (£) invoices as well as 20% VAT invoices.
Does Keel require an Open Banking connection?
No. Keel never connects to your bank account. All your GBP invoices, receipts and mileage logs stay on your iPhone. Free to download on the App Store.
