Their site makes it so much longer than it has to be IMO. Even if you will only be putting on salary and dividends.
If it is salary and dividends it should be straightforward.
Although why is your tax return not included within your monthly fee that you pay to your accountant ?Comment

No strong argument either way I guess.
Are you sure it's not included? It says 'personal taxation' is included on SJD site, although I admit I didn't actually speak to them when choosing my own accountant.Comment

I've been filling in SA tax returns myself for years (As Self Employed) before I turned myself into a Ltd company. This is my first year of being a limited company and my accountant would charge me to do my personal tax return on top of what I pay him to do my company accounts. The truth is, I don't see what the problem is. Filing my online tax return now takes me about 30 mins tops.
However, I would maybe suggest paying for the 1st year. It just happened that my father was a chartered accountant before he retired so I used to fill them in with him the first couple of years. Now I know more than him as he's been retired for 10+ years but once you've got the hang of it, it's easyComment

NW do your personal return as part of the package. Like someone said though, its fairly straightforward if its just contracting salary and dividend income anyway.
If you've got rental income/overseas investments then its more complicated. Pretty sure even NW would charge more in this case.
Currently trying to do tax return for the Mrs. Shes got her own job, my dividend income plus she runs a business as sole trader. Not easy. But accountants want > £400 to do this.
Previous years it was set up as a partnership and I did get an accountant to do a basic end of year acounts, plus partnership plus personal tax returns. But I found they made so many mistakes I ended up spending ages anyway... Mrs business only makes about £4K per year anyway so it seems a lot to spend 10% on accountants fees.
(BTW -this wasnt NW - it was a local accountant!)Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
