DIY Self-assessment for those who prefer not to pay accountant fees

We have published a series of handy guides to making your Self-Assessment tax return. In this newletter we are compiling links to our relevant Guides to make things easier for you. If you want to complete the process yourself, there are plenty of tips and information in the guides listed below.

The easiest way to calculate and submit your 19/20 tax return

If you’re looking for an easy way to calculate and submit your tax return, then we are big fans of GoSimpleTax.

Why do we like SimpleTax so much?

  • It’s easy to use
  • Jargon-free – we hate techno-babble
  • It actively identifies tax savings – missed tax-free allowances
  • It has all the forms you’ll need
  • You only need your tax reference code to submit your return – there’s no need to register with HMRC

Our team have used this software for their own personal Self-Assessment return. Anyone can use the software free for 14 days. If you find it easy to use and want to submit your return, then only at that point will you need to provide any payment details. For most people the cost is £46. Why not give it a go?

How does using GoSimple Tax support Listentotaxman?

We earn a small commision for any of our users who sign up to GoSimpleTax's software. Their software is a product we have no problem in recommending as it makes doing your taxes easier and more affordable. This DIY approach to taxation is the reason we started Listentotaxman all those years ago.

Given the cost of an accountant, and the amount of time GoSimpleTax can save you, we think this is great value for money.

Now for upcoming deadlines!

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous 2021!
