A great service

A great service. The software is very user friendly. It takes no time at all to upload the vat return and a submission receipt can be saved.

Fab VAT bridging software

Really easy to use and was just the tool we needed for our vat returns. Due to changing our accounting software we will no longer require it but was a godsend when we were using wave accounting!

WOW - Perfect simple to use and reasonable

WOW! This bridging software just makes my life so much easier.

I was a bit hesitant at first but having used this for over a year on several clients I can honestly say it has taken all the stress out of submitting and filing MTD VAT returns. Highly recommend this software. Superb pricing too, which also helps. Keep up the good work guys.

Great, simple software for Making Tax Digital

I'm new to sending VAT returns myself (previously used accountants) and just wanted something really simple to take the calculations from my spreadsheets and send to HMRC. Tax Optimiser does just that.
There's a lot of options out there and this was actually the first one I tried - but it was quicker and easier than I expected, so I recommend!

Trialled TaxOptimiser last week for my 06/2019 Return.
It's an intuitive interface and was easy to set up and populate.
My queries were answered efficiently via LiveChat.
VAT refund in my bank today . . . . .
Very happy with this bridging software solution.

Perfect solution

I have used Quickbooks desktop for the past 15 years and resisted their efforts to force me into their expensive cloud solution. Once the digital tax came along, both my accountant and Quickbooks told me I would have to go online or stop using their desktop version. All rubbish and after a little research I found Tax Optimiser who could do my submissions for me simply and at a sensible price. Even more clever, they offer businesses a 12 month free trial. Emails sent to them have been answered speedily and I cannot see what is not to like about this service.

Smashing solution to VAT return…

Smashing solution to VAT return submission changes. We use old Sage Instants & don’t want to upgrade or switch to a different accounting software. After an initial online chat with Mark from Tax Optimiser, he answered my questions & it seemed like this could be the solution. I bought an old version of Excel that was compatible with our Sage for a few £s online. Then the panic- once you register with HMRC for MTD, there’s no going back. I thought I’d be able to trial it first with the return for April(due by the end of May). So no choice-I signed up then got stuck with the submission. My error totally. I’m an Excel novice really. I contacted Mark & he assisted me online & phoned me to explain where I’d gone wrong. On a Saturday too. Submitted the return Saturday afternoon & it showed on the HMRC site by Tuesday. Relief, joy & a massive round of applause to Tax Optimiser and Mark’s support through the process.

So far so good.

I have just signed up to Taxoptimiser for use of their digital link software for Making VAT Digital. I found Mark very helpful (chat, phone and email) and the system simple and easy to use. So far I have only done the trial, so hope it works as well when HMRC goes live in April. But so far I'm very impressed, and just what I was looking for. The first year is free for businesses then at £30 a year.
