General partnership tax return - commercial software needed for online submission?

[neilsolaris]

Hi,

I've been asked to submit general partnership accounts, which I've not done before, but it should be straightforward. It's too late for the paper form, so it'll need to be done online.

However, I've just downloaded the paper form to get an idea. and it states that if submitting online, you'll need to buy commercial software. Is that true? They are using a spreadsheet to record everything at the moment. If commercial software is absolutely necessary, can anyone recommend the cheapest solution please?

Many thanks.

It seems good value to me. Can anyone recommend it?

Does seem rather cheap but if it does the job then fine, not sure how this would work through your agent account though and your HMRC login details

Thanks DWS. I don't have an agent account yet, but I'll get the client (who's a friend of a friend) to sign up , and we'll complete it together.
