Prior to Brexit, I became a Spanish resident and fiscal resident. Because of the complexities of dual taxation and my lack of understanding, I paid a firm of UK accountants to file our returns for 2020/21 and 2021/22. Although the costs were relatively modest (totalling around £2,000 for both of us for the two years), I actually do pretty much all the work in that I compile all the numbers and submit these to the accountant who puts them into their submission software.I know I am really paying the accountants for their knowledge but I think that knowledge transfer is now sufficiently complete.
This year,therefore, I am of a mind to revert to my DIY approach. Unfortunately, though, I believe I am one of the cases (like Ministers of Religion) who cannot file through HMRC's online system because, in my case, I live abroad.
I don't really want to revert to paper returns, so I am looking for recommendations about suitable software that will enable electronic submission. My requirements are not extensive, the pages filed for 2021/22 by the accountant were
- SA100 - main return
- SA105 - UK property
- SA109 - Residence, remittance basis,etc
- SA110 - Tax calculation summary
- HS304 Claim form - Claim by a non-UK resident for relief from UK tax under the terms of a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA)
Any recommendations?
