Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 394 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently find the service easy to use, making tax returns straightforward and less stressful, especially for non-UK residents or those with complex situations. Many appreciate the intuitive interface and features like copying previous year's data, which significantly speeds up the process. The customer service is frequently praised for being helpful, patient, and providing quick, professional responses to queries. However, some reviewers were not happy with certain aspects of the website's user experience, mentioning issues with color coding for colorblind users, unclear dropdown boxes, or occasional glitches. A few other people also felt that the online help could be more specific, sometimes directing them to external resources rather than providing direct guidance within the software. Some customers also noted slow system performance or difficulties with the verification process, leading to frustration and delays.

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!

Very simple to use and on the whole clear guidance. Some more help needed for sole traders. GoSimpleTax said no errors found but still got bounced back from HMRC and took some time to work it out

I have a rolling subscription and was encountering problems, however, it was sorted the day I posted my review after waiting 4/5 days....so my update is....
I give 4 stars now and not five, as your sight seemed to have a lot of glitches this year. Also, any help emails I sent took days before they were acknowledged. I'd never had that type of delay before, and it was quite stressing. My tax return has now been submitted.

I'd like to add, I was pleased when I pressed compleat, and a warning came up to tell me something wasn't right with my tax return. When I checked, I'd ticked a wrong box. So, thank you.

I will be renewing my subscription next year, as this was the first year I've ever encountered these problems. Best regards.

Straight forward to use.

The front page summary showing all the SA forms so one can select the correct forms.

Please note the SA tabs on the left when they are highlighted in red, this means there is missing information.

Good Simple Tax Submission Services

I have been using GoSimpleTax services to submit my tax return from last 3 years now. It’s easy to use, no clusters, easy layout and clear with figures updating immediately.

The only negative side is the cost have gone up. Well at least I find it more. To get it half price, you have to Which? Member.

Thanks for the review Marc and we're pleased you found the software easy to use. There is the ability to bring forward previous years data as explained in this help article - https://support.gosimpletax.com/portal/en/kb/articles/can-i-copy-my-last-years-information-into-the-current-return - we don't make it automatic as some users may wish to bring forward data from earlier years than the previous year.
