years running (2017 to 2022).
* 1. As a Barclays Business Current Account customer, you’ll have free access to FreshBooks’ package developed exclusively for Barclays Business Current Account customers, which is based on the
existing FreshBooks £22 package, with some additional features. FreshBooks usually charge for their open-to-market packages. Only Barclays Business Current Account customers who complete the
sign-up journey with FreshBooks and agree to FreshBooks’ terms and conditions will receive the FreshBooks service for free, for as long as they continue to be eligible Barclays Business Current Account
customers. If you close all your Barclays Business Current Accounts, this means your free use of the FreshBooks service will end too. If we end our partnership with FreshBooks, you won’t get the
FreshBooks service for free anymore. We will let you know if that happens. You’ll then need to download all your data and reports to make sure you keep your records safe and secure, so you comply with
Making Tax Digital requirements. You can also choose to upgrade to a paid package at your own cost. If you decide to upgrade from the free FreshBooks service with FreshBooks to another FreshBooks
plan and pay the full price to FreshBooks, Barclays Bank PLC may receive commission from FreshBooks for this Return to reference
* 2. Referred products are owned and provided by FreshBooks. Alternative service providers in the market may offer similar products. If you sign up to FreshBooks, you’ll need to read and accept their
terms and conditions, if you agree with them. Once you become a FreshBooks customer, you’re bound by their terms and conditions; this is separate from and in addition to the terms and conditions you
are subject to under your Barclays Business Current Account(s). FreshBooks is offering this service free to people who already bank with us. Barclays Bank UK PLC doesn’t receive commission. Barclays
Bank PLC receives commission from upgrades. Return to reference
3. We don’t offer tax advice. If you’re not sure about tax or how VAT and other forms of tax work, seek independent financial advice. More Information about tax can be found on His Majesty’s Revenue
and Customs website. Return to reference
