Whilst I'm sure there must be good reason for the software to be written in this manner, it doesn't seem to be intuitive to me as a user. If possible I'd like to see these elements moved into the initial setup routine. > > Arguably the best feature of this software is not the ease of use or comprehensive nature of the software itself, but the almost immediate feedback I've received from the support team every time I've contacted them. Their professionalism has helped me to understand my finances and taxation better as each year passes. ----- ### "Easy to use, but bad connection to HMRC" — 2.0/5 > **Ricardo** | *29 January 2019* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It´s easy to use and the step-by-step process helps a lot > > **Cons**: - I haven´t received a confirmation from HRMC that the tax return was sent (although it was) + I haven´t received an email from GoSimpleTax. Last year HMRC told me they hadn´t received anything, so it is not a trusworthy software - The Customer Service did not reply to my question (sent 12 hours ago) - The password reset tool doesn´t function, which also happened last year - There are a lot of hidden features in the tax return, pages I didn´t know about and the software didn´t mention it to me - My name was not correct in the tax return (although it was correct in my profile).... ----- ### "Simple to complete" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 August 2018* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to fill in and leads you into covering all areas such as including associated expenses,. It uses last year's return as aa base, making it much easier to ensure I've covered everything in the same way. > > **Cons**: Handling proportions on holiday lettings where there is also personal use was not intuitive. > > It has significantly speeded up my tax return submission. ----- ### "Simpletax is an easy program to file your taxes." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 March 2023* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that this program is very simple, like the name. It is very basic and easy to use. > > **Cons**: The program is very secure, to the point that you can easily get completely locked out of your account. There should be some way to reset your account. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/312756/simpletax?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/312756/simpletax) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
