Expert assisted · from £199 + VAT

Your return, double-checked.

The best of both worlds: you keep control in the software, and a chartered accountant reviews everything before it's submitted to HMRC.

Control, with a safety net

File it yourself — checked by a pro.

You prepare your return in Basetax, exactly as you would on the self-filing plan. Before anything reaches HMRC, a chartered accountant reviews it line by line — catching errors, optimising allowances, and giving you the all-clear.

  • You stay in control of your figures
  • An expert review before submission
  • Errors caught and allowances optimised
  • Filed to HMRC once you're happy

What does it cost? +

Expert assisted filing starts at £199 + VAT per return. You get the self-filing software plus a full review by a chartered accountant before submission.

How is this different from doing it myself? +

You still prepare the return yourself, but an expert checks it before it's filed — so you get the confidence of professional oversight without handing it over entirely.

How is it different from the done-for-you service?+

With done-for-you, a chartered accountant prepares everything. With expert assisted, you prepare it and we review it — usually a lower fee, and you stay hands-on.

File with confidence.
