Taxman provides a set of tools for computing Income Tax and National Insurance contributions for the UK tax system.
It currently supports calculating Income Tax and National Insurance contributions (for both employer and employee), and deducting these to return the net income.
At the moment, it can only calculate these for the tax year 2018-19, but support for configuring it to calculate for any tax year will be added soon.
The current version of Taxman has been tested to work on Python 3.6. Although it may work on other versions, it is recommended to use this version in case you encounter any problems.
The easiest way to install Taxman is to use pip:
pip install taxmanIf you wish to build and install Taxman from source, following these steps:
