GoSimpleTax Avis 

Makes doing tax returns for creatives so much easier

Made the job of submitting annual reports to HMRC so straightforward. I would highly recommend it!

Only reasons used this company because self assessment deadline was approaching and I didn’t realize overseas residents can’t make a self-assessment submission via the HMRC online portal.
Will not use this company again. Payment you see is not for entire submission. Each form used is charged for so fees can mount up.

ID verification system used exceptionally intrusive. Not only does verification system require a personal document it also requires you to allow a photograph look forwards and then turning right and left. Why was that necessary and where are my verification details now? More worryingly who has access to that data?

easy to use and very quick

Stress free. Easy to fill in form. I have used this service for years now and I am happy to continue. Thank you.

An excellent on line service backed by extremely good and very patient support, important to this Octogenarian.

Another year of excellent service, simply to use and submit my Tax Return.

Yet again more improvements in the website making it even easier - will defintely use again next year

Thanks !

So easy to use once you become familiar with what goes into each section. It also saves the information you’ve entered, minus the monetary value, for the following year’s tax return so it acts as prompts and makes the process so much easier and quicker for subsequent years.

Used Simple Tax before, very helpful

User friendly for the first time taxpayer to file the assessment form especially with the SA109 form.

I can complete the Tax Assessment smoothly with some AI supports.

Have used Go simple for about 5-6yrs now. Love it! Would be lost without it

FROM THE START, YESTERDAY THROUGH TO THIS EVENING, THEY WERE ALL SO HELPFUL. IT IS NEW SOFTWARE FOR ME. MANY QUESTIONS. ALL ANSWERED WITH PATIENCE, POLITENESS AND PROFESSIONALISM. SOFTWARE IS SO USER FRIENDLY. I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOSIMPLE TAX.

It was very straight forward to use this service.
Gosimple are always there to help and guide you.
I think it's a fabulous service.

Very simple with immediate upload to HMRC site. As a government verified provider I was comfortable trying them. The software I used for years has unfortunately been bought by a large company and it is much more complicated now. I was happy to find GoSimpleTax.

The platform was pretty easy to use and it gives tips and explanations of what to put for all major questions. The submission confirmation is received instantly from both the platform and from HMRC website, which is comforting. I used for the first time as I had to file an SA109 form for the first time which was a bit of a faff to do by mail so these commercial softwares are the only way to do it online.

It would have been nice if it gave you explanations for each individual question. I had to use AI (Chatgpt, Gemini, etc) to clarify a lot of questions on the forms that were not clear and didn't have much explanations in the pop ups on the platform. I hope in the following years they would provide some sort of AI integration that would make people's lives much easier.

Simple and easy to use. Worth using year on year as you are able to sense check against previous year's returns. Doing your tax return with GoSimpleTax really isn't taxing.

Compared to completing this directly into the HMRC website this platform is brilliant and intuitive to use. It is very well supported by the Chatbot, and when a human response was required to a more complex query, I received a prompt and clear response. After a few years of unfortunate experiences with Tax Consultants, I found this platform brilliant and highly recommend it.

I have been using GST for about 10 years now and their name is accurate if a bit of a mouthful. They have managed to make doing the Self Assessment and submitting one's return simple. I am remembered accurately from year to year and it is still possible to contact a real human being and one who can give immediate, intelligent support. So why only 4 stars. Because there is now a chat button which could become a bot and because my experience of newish companies which do well is that they can lower their standards/become more expensive very easily (this one has already put its prices up more than I expected). So my advice is use this outfit but keep a wary eye out for the contraction of direct human contact and for the inflation of your costs.
