Self assessments for £40?
Permalink Closed


I've just had pop up on my Facebook an advert for self assessments for £40. I was just wondering how is that possible? I presume they will only input total figures provided by client, no checking/allocation. Lyndsey

For me whenever a price seems abnormally low I avoid like the plague!

£40 though!! It costs that to turn the computer on.

I would switch to a cheaper energy supplier Johnny biggrin

I used to do them for £50 if I'd done the bookkeeping and there was no complications, but I've recently upped the price.

Yes, but the point is: "If I'd done the bookkeeping and there were no complications" (sorry, I know I've put it in quotation marks, but I couldn't leave the 'was' alone) - if someone's advertising SA for forty squids, then they're offering that specific service and not taking into account whether or not they've done the bookkeeping, and can't possibly know if there will be any complications.

Now, if it said "from" rather than "for", that's another matter.

I'd say that for £40 the supplied TB would be taken to be true - I wouldn't expect any adjustments to be done, which would be difficult without seeing the accounts anyway.

I would be surprised to see any letters of engagement in place for that price too.

All conjecture of course :)

But no, not for me.

I knew of one person who used a cheap online service and he basically had to fill out a form online giving all his details and his Income and Expenditure and they then submitted his return from this information, so he might as well just have filled out the Tax return himself and saved himself the money as they did nothing except move the information from one form to another.

This was a few years ago and things might have changed but for that sort of money I cant see them doing much more.
