Self Assessment Tax Return - Simple, Fixed £129

If you only need your tax return filed, we make it easy.

Our £129 fixed-fee Self Assessment covers: 

  • Employment and self-employed income
  • Investment Property and rental income
  • Interest, dividends and allowable expenses
  • Preparation, submission and HMRC confirmation
     

Need multiple years filed? We’ll apply a bulk discount and help you catch up quickly.


If your return includes capital gains, crypto or overseas income  -  the fee is £150 fixed and transparent, no hidden charges. 


If you require profit and loss accounts due your side hustles, or your business trade as you operate as a sole trader but would not like a subscription package - the fee would be £249. 


Start your Self Assessment today from £129 - simple, transparent and done right.
