Why GoSimpleTax for Sole Traders

For sole traders, there’s hardly time to file your tax return let alone keep on top of your accounts. As such, it’s not uncommon for sole traders to miss the 31st January deadline or fall foul of HMRC due to errors in their tax return submission. GoSimpleTax helps prevent that by enabling you to input your income and expenditure in real time, and therefore proactively update your tax return.

Our software walks you through the tax year, highlighting your responsibilities as you go.

Take Advantages Of HMRC Allowances

If you complete your return via the the HMRC website, it won’t tell you about the available allowances. Go Simple Tax via a series of questions highlights exactly what allowances you can claim for.
