Partnership tax returns - commercial software

goldndelicious

Hi all,

I've been informed today that in order to submit my partnership tax return online i need to purchase third party software to do this, and can't do it using the usual sole trader method (that i have been doing, partnership started on 01/11/2010)

So - does anyone have any recommendations for decent software?

Additionally, i have a very simple online business, with very simple expenses. I have all my receipts and my bookkeeping is all in order and up to date and kept electronically. - would it be cheaper/easier to get an accountant to look at it - how much would i expect to pay?

Previously ive just submitted my return myself as it has been dead easy.

Cheers

One piece of software I've seen recommended several times is from Andica - I've never tried it myself yet though, although when I re-start my bookkeeping business I will be trying it out. Should say the recommendations have been based on the price for multiple tax returns (SA800 or SA100) for a bookkeeping business.

I used something last year which I think was Andica and cost 15 pounds. However if you get more organised than I was you can fill in the paper SA800 as long as they get it before the end of October and save paying anything
