A business owner who posts as Future Forward runs more than one business. He uploaded his tax return to Grok Bot and asked it to look it over. It spotted that he hadn't claimed Employment Allowance (a relief on employer National Insurance) for one of his businesses last year. That took £3,990 off this year's tax bill.

What to watch out for

Self-reported from his own post. Tax rules and eligibility depend on your country and business, and Employment Allowance has its own rules, so have your accountant confirm before you claim. Safer version: the bot only reads and flags; your accountant files. Build it with Page: a simple page for your accountant with the documents they need each year.
