Tax return - Looking for an alternative to Taxfiler

Hello,

We are a small partnership of 4 with little income. Since 2013 we were using Taxfiler, which is discontinued (at the moment the successor Taxpad is for accountants only), so we need an alternative.

From Gov.uk we got "Commercial software suppliers for Self Assessment - GOV.html", where we found a lot of solutions for individuals, but which one should we pick?

We need to file 4x SA100 (incl. SA104S + SA110) and a SA800. It should be inexpensive and "just work". We have Mac computers, but ideally it should be browser/cloud-based (no app) – just as Taxfiler was. Ftax.co.uk maybe...?

Many thanks for any recommendations!

    Hmm... I thought there would be at least some people here using Taxfiler successors...
    Now I'm afraid the "Accounts & Finance" section would have been more suitable.
    Could a moderator please x-copy or move my post there?
    Thanks.
    Done

    What's the product?
    No particular product - just want to get a feel for how much you want to pay.

    I used to use this:


    About as simple as it gets. Get in contact with them and ask if it's going to work for you.

    But I now use an accountant. Saves me far more in tax than they cost each year.

    It's been a long time since I used it but TaxCalc have individual and partnership options which may be worth a look.
