It enabled me to file my taxes simply and painlessly in a very short time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This program makes filing simple and painless- you input basic information and the hard work is done for you #### Cons The cost is somewhat high; also, due to its localization, obtaining live support can be tricky on occasion depending on time of day #### Vendor response Dear Jen, Thank you for your kind review. Our support team do work longer hours when it comes to the busy tax season to ensure a quick response. Many thanks, GoSimpleTax Replied May 2019 --- ### GoSimpleTax: unravelling the complexities of personal taxation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andy C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Arguably the best feature of this software is not the ease of use or comprehensive nature of the software itself, but the almost immediate feedback I've received from the support team every time I've contacted them. Their professionalism has helped me to understand my finances and taxation better as each year passes. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love the manner in which this software calculates my tax liability as each element is entered, which makes it simple to see how things are progressing and when I've made a mistake in entering data. #### Cons Some elements only force a recalculation at the end of the process, such as amalgamated tax codes. Whilst I'm sure there must be good reason for the software to be written in this manner, it doesn't seem to be intuitive to me as a user. If possible I'd like to see these elements moved into the initial setup routine. #### Vendor response Thanks for leaving us a great review, Andy! We appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We're glad you're satisfied with the support you have received from the team! - AG Replied May 2019 --- ### Easy to use, but bad connection to HMRC - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Ricardo E. - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros It´s easy to use and the step-by-step process helps a lot #### Cons - I haven´t received a confirmation from HRMC that the tax return was sent (although it was) + I haven´t received an email from GoSimpleTax. Last year HMRC told me they hadn´t received anything, so it is not a trusworthy software - The Customer Service did not reply to my question (sent 12 hours ago) - The password reset tool doesn´t function, which also happened last year - There are a lot of hidden features in the tax return, pages I didn´t know about and the software didn´t mention it to me - My name was not correct in the tax return (although it was correct in my profile).... #### Vendor response Dear Ricardo Thank you for your feedback, On reviewing your support request I see that this was received very late evening, we responded at 7:15am the following morning, outside of our published support hours When a tax return is submitted to HMRC we display the appropriate success message and HMRC confirmation on screen and also email the same information for your records. When asked for confirmation of this by yourself our support team responded in under 30 minutes. Unfortunately it can take HMRC 36 hours for your online HMRC account to show tax return submissions, especially during peak periods leading to the tax return deadline. We pride ourselves on the level of customer support we provide especially during the peak filing season. For January 2019 we achieved a satisfaction rating of 94%. Kind regards GoSimpleTax Replied February 2019 --- ### Simple to complete - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. It has significantly speeded up my tax return submission. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to fill in and leads you into covering all areas such as including associated expenses,. It uses last year's return as aa base, making it much easier to ensure I've covered everything in the same way. #### Cons Handling proportions on holiday lettings where there is also personal use was not intuitive. --- ### Simpletax is an easy program to file your taxes. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Semiconductors - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I liked that this program is very simple, like the name. It is very basic and easy to use. #### Cons The program is very secure, to the point that you can easily get completely locked out of your account. There should be some way to reset your account. --- ### Price hikes year on year and a support team that dont care and give you tin can responses - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: James C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Biotechnology - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. poor #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros I thought, initially, that it actually made the whole process simple. I later found out I was a fool and that I should be using the free HMRC one. I then find out that the price has hiked again and all the customer support team say is "Over the last 12 months, we have added lots of new features and made software improvements to give you the best possible experience when filing your self-assessment tax return" as if that makes it ok. What are they? I doubt i'll need them. Who asked for them? What a terrible excuse. If I started charging more for making my software better people would stop using it. I will thus be stopping using it #### Cons The support team. The inability to modify a filed return and having to ring HMRC and sit on hold for 40mins anyway. #### Reasons for switching to GoSimpleTax I wanted a self serve online solution that didn't require someone to do paper work and email me out a license. The price 3 years ago was acceptable - the price hikes are not, for the return for the end user. --- ### Very simple to use - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lynn J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Human Resources - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Highly recommend. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to navigate and use. Good value for money. #### Cons Can't think of any, will use again for sure. --- ### Tax return done in an evening - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Environmental Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Very good indeed. It made getting my tax return submitted quite simple. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I was a first time user expecting issues with the unfamiliar system but it proved easy. I got a reduction as a which member and was amazed that I paid only 3% of my normal accountants bill. Ok my demands were simple but I felt I had more control. Support was outstanding. I asked about payments on account and by the time I had given access permissions, there was not just an answer, but support had made the change needed and copied over the modified tax page as evidence. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was superb. #### Cons None really. It took a few minutes to get to grip with the quirks of the system but that is always the case in my experience. The link to pay HMRC looked a little awkward perhaps more set up for card payment so I simply used an existing transfer set up for HMRC. #### Reasons for switching to GoSimpleTax Much better value for money, more control, better advice. --- ### Easy as long as you have your info to hand! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. GoSimpleTax was an absolute lifesaver for filing a return from abroad with a short time frame. Thank you very much! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros All the categories are there and very easy to add, with very helpful tips and help boxes to make sure you can understand everything #### Cons There are quite a lot of verification steps, but this is understandable when it comes to taxes and HMRC! #### Vendor response Thanks for leaving us this great review! We're glad you liked using GoSimpleTax to file your tax return :) - AG Replied May 2019 --- ### GO SIMPLE TAX review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for free trial - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Good. Took some of the pain out of completing my tax return. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It was easy to use and saved me time and effort. #### Cons The suprise at the end that it was going to cost me £36 to use the software. This should have been upfront. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 96 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/tax-practice-management/simpletax-profile/reviews/) ## GoSimpleTax Popular Comparisons [TaxDome vs GoSimpleTax](https://www.softwareadvice.com/tax-practice-management/simpletax-profile/vs/taxdome/)[MyTAXPrepOffice vs GoSimpleTax](https://www.softwareadvice.com/tax-practice-management/mytaxprepoffice-profile/vs/simpletax/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/tax-practice-management/simpletax-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
