Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 375 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently find the service incredibly easy and straightforward to use, making the tax return process much simpler and less stressful. Many appreciate the intuitive interface and helpful features, such as the ability to copy data from previous years and clear guidance within the forms. The customer service is frequently praised for being prompt, efficient, and very helpful, especially for those needing assistance with specific queries or non-resident tax situations. However, some customers also noted that the website's interface could be more modern and that the software can sometimes be slow or clunky. A few other people also felt that the help section was poorly laid out or that customer support responses didn't always directly address their specific questions, especially for beginners.

Very simple with immediate upload to HMRC site. As a government verified provider I was comfortable trying them. The software I used for years has unfortunately been bought by a large company and it is much more complicated now. I was happy to find GoSimpleTax.

The platform was pretty easy to use and it gives tips and explanations of what to put for all major questions. The submission confirmation is received instantly from both the platform and from HMRC website, which is comforting. I used for the first time as I had to file an SA109 form for the first time which was a bit of a faff to do by mail so these commercial softwares are the only way to do it online.

It would have been nice if it gave you explanations for each individual question. I had to use AI (Chatgpt, Gemini, etc) to clarify a lot of questions on the forms that were not clear and didn't have much explanations in the pop ups on the platform. I hope in the following years they would provide some sort of AI integration that would make people's lives much easier.

Simple and easy to use

Simple and easy to use. Worth using year on year as you are able to sense check against previous year's returns. Doing your tax return with GoSimpleTax really isn't taxing.

Tax Returns Made Simple in My View

Compared to completing this directly into the HMRC website this platform is brilliant and intuitive to use. It is very well supported by the Chatbot, and when a human response was required to a more complex query, I received a prompt and clear response. After a few years of unfortunate experiences with Tax Consultants, I found this platform brilliant and highly recommend it.

The Which? Report is right

I have been using GST for about 10 years now and their name is accurate if a bit of a mouthful. They have managed to make doing the Self Assessment and submitting one's return simple. I am remembered accurately from year to year and it is still possible to contact a real human being and one who can give immediate, intelligent support. So why only 4 stars. Because there is now a chat button which could become a bot and because my experience of newish companies which do well is that they can lower their standards/become more expensive very easily (this one has already put its prices up more than I expected). So my advice is use this outfit but keep a wary eye out for the contraction of direct human contact and for the inflation of your costs.

Thanks for your thoughtful and detailed review, James, and for being with us for around 10 years, we really appreciate your loyalty.

We completely understand your concern about automation and the importance of being able to speak to a real person. While we’ve recently introduced an AI help bot, it’s only used to provide support outside of normal business hours (such as evenings and weekends). During working hours, our support continues to be handled by real people, and that isn’t something we plan to change.

Thanks!

GoSimpleTax is extremely easy to use and their online help is quick and helpful. Messaging questions or asking for help are responded by their team almost immediate. I have been using this online tax filing tool for the past 7 years and so far, had no issues at all. I would highly recommend them.

easy, friendly, helpful service for non-UK residents

Easy to sign up to and use with limited time and knowledge, super helpful chat function. As a non-UK resident this made it possible to do something I couldn't do via the HMRC site which was amazing.

Totally recommend

Totally recommend! I had to switch to new software this year after Taxfiler abandoned all! Last minute panic to find an alternate and very happy I found Go Simple Tax. I could pay for 2 submissions (me and wife’s) which made easier and copy duplicate data between returns. The site was intuitive enough to use and has a lot of help tags etc. The ‘coconut’ help bot needs a bit of work, but fortunately I didn’t need much support. Thank you!!

Great customer support.

I had a problem submitting my return. I sent an email to support and Mike got back very quickly. He liaised with his technical support team and resolved the problem extremely quickly. It was a small error on our part and once corrected, the submission was sent without a hitch.

Thank you Mike & Team.

Very good experience overall. Only annoyance was that it didn't load the correct form for the new tax return, which was confusing. Other than that, really user friendly.

Quickly resolved issue…

Unable to submit due to software coding error and circular fault and unable to contact anyone whilst submitting beyond an AI helper. However, Zak from GST promptly dealt with my issue and was quick to solve.

Hello Colin, apologies for the problems you have had. I have asked the support team to update me on what happened here. They have explained that you sent a support message out of hours (9pm our time), Coco (our support AI) could not help, but Zak from the support team replied on Sunday and you subsequently successfully submitted your tax return to HMRC. I understand you are based in the USA so put this down to time differences.

Non-resident return submission

I am a non-resident owning a small property in the UK for which I receive rental income. As a non-resident Go Simple Tax has made my tax returns very easy for a number of years. Before using their services and doing it myself it was a time consuming and very frustrating exercise. I would certainly recommend Go Simple Tax for non-residents having to submit UK returns. The fee is well worth it.
