How it works

Three steps. That's genuinely it.

You're not learning tax law. You're answering questions you already know, and letting someone qualified take it from there.

1

Tell us about your year

Pick what fits: individual, self-employed, landlord, or VAT-registered, and answer a short set of questions built around it.

2

Upload and pay

Send over what you've got and pay securely by card or bank transfer. Nothing starts until you've paid.

3

Your accountant takes it

They prepare, message you if anything's missing, and file once you've approved it. You always know where things stand.

Pricing

One flat fee. No surprises after.

Every plan includes a qualified accountant and our accuracy guarantee.

Questions people ask before starting

It's a set of rules that determine whether you're UK-resident for tax purposes in a given year, based on days spent here and other ties. Your accountant will apply it to your situation.

Depends on your residency and domicile. Non-UK residents generally don't pay UK tax on foreign income; residents usually do.

In the year you arrive or leave the UK, tax can sometimes be split so you're only UK-resident for part of the year. We'll check if that applies to you.

Often yes, at least for the year you leave, plus any year you have UK income. Your accountant will confirm and file if needed.
