It works pretty well.

It works pretty well. Property insurance crops up twice, however - a bit odd. Perhaps support could contact me please.

Thank you for your review. Did you contact support about the property insurance thing? They would be able to explain why this happened.

Its just makes the tax submission process so much easier , especially as you can use last years tax submission as a basis . It now only took me 30 minutes from start to finish !

Insane pricing 85.98 UKP for simple tax return

Insane pricing 85.98 UKP, and an unintuitive system, no AI, no suggestions on how to save tax, which it is advertised as doing. No easier than a paper return. The system is very slow online.

May be good for some, but not all. Glitches can happen.

1. The major problem was a software glitch, which took several days to correct sufficiently to allow submission to HMRC. The internal gosimpletax SA302 still showed the error, however.
2. Dropdown boxes aim to make completion simple, but do not make clear exactly what is being written on the form, so filling is uncertain.
3. I have cancelled my subscription for time and work lost and trust that Gosimpletax will honour the difficulties caused by not charging me the full one-time use price. I will reclaim it, if they do.

No refund for service no longer required.

Avoid! A poor customer service if something goes wrong.

I was on a subscription for a few years when I was working, but after I retired I missed the email reminder and the payment went through. Even though I have no need to submit a tax return this year I have been charged. Despite multiple emails to their customer services team all you get is a meaningless AI response. All together a very poor customer experience from a previous regular customer who’s situation has changed.

1st May update. Your reply apologises that the service wasn’t ‘ideal’. This could easily be remedied by simply refunding me the money paid in advance for a service I will not use this year.

A great bit of software…

This is such a great bit of software for a small business owner like me. It made the process of submitting my tax return so easy and straight-forward, taking all the stress out of an essential part of running your own business.
It has saved me hundreds of pounds in unnecessary accounting fees.

No Refund on Cancellation

I have used them for three years and they are easy to use. This year I no longer need them and cancelled the service after seeing a payment of $161 go out of my account. Apparently, even though I will not be using the service this tax year they won't refund me because I was on the autopay option. What a joke!
Be VERY CAREFUL when you chose this company. DONT do anything on autopay. They will take your money and not care.

Thank you for the review and sorry that your experience wasn't ideal. By the time any funds are drawn, there have typically been at least two emails advising that this is about to happen, giving you the opportunity to cancel it.

UK non-resident filing CGT of UK resident rental property

As UK non-resident, I found GoSimpleTax is very easy to use to file UK income and UK residential property rental income. However, I found that to file UK non-resident SA108 CGT of UK residential rental property with GoSimpleTax is very confusing. I spent many hours via their online e-mail tax support to file UK NRCGT. I also found that HMRC gov.uk notes on NRCGT are cryptic and equally confusing related to SA108 form boxes 52.1 through 52.5, specifically if your NRCGT is negative. My recommendation is that GoSimpleTax should provide their support via telephone appointment or online screen sharing if the issue is not resolved after multiple e-mails. In addition, GoSimpleTax should assign a same person to respond to e-Mail tax query rather then different person for a same e-mail query.

Hello and thank you for your review. We do not offer tax advice, we provide software to assist you in filing your return to HMRC that is fully compliant with legislation and HMRC requirements. Unfortunately, UK tax is excessively complex.

As usual good value

As usual, easy to use and good values for money.
Validation was new this year and I did have difficulties uploading my passport.

Thanks for the review Mr Turner and pleased you found the software easy to use. The validation is a relatively new thing, and is part of the ongoing battle against money laundering that governments the world over are fighting.

Successful submission of Tax Return!

Successful submission Tax Return!.
I’m not terribly computer literate for this day and age, but the Coco AI and human staff online chat were most helpful in my making the transition to MTD, and I thus was successful in submitting my tax return today with all my figures correctly appearing. I look forward to continuing with GoSimpleTax and Coconut for future HMRC submissions. Thoroughly recommend!
