What is GoSimpleTax?

GoSimpleTax is a self-assessment (SA) tax return software that helps you submit your tax returns to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) even if you don’t have an accountant. The biggest feature of GoSimpleTax is its ability to send your tax return directly to the HMRC. You do not need an accountant to do this because GoSimpleTax’s software automatically computes the user’s income, expenses, and taxes owed. You can also view tax calculations and print them if you are unsure of the data submitted to HMRC. All changes made to your files are saved to the cloud. It also contains your SA forms that can be printed. If there were changes made to the files, GoSimpleTax’s automatic notifications system will update you immediately. Backed by over 100 years of accounting experience on Windows or Mac, GoSimpleTax has an app for users who are always on mobile.
