The vast majority of people in the UK don't have to fill out a self assessment because their tax situation is simple and handed by their employers. For the people who do have more complicated tax arrangements, the process takes like 10-15 minutes on the HMRC portal and importantly it's free.
So all these commercial software offerings for SAs exist just for fun? I guess I just don't understand why these exist. Europeans have yet to explain this adequately.
Can you show me the free option that existed in HMRC's portal for non-domiciled statuses? I can only find websites that contradict your point:
>You will need to use commercial software that supports the SA109 form (such as DTax Filer), You cannot submit the SA109 form through HMRC’s free online service. . If you do not use compatible software, you will need to print and post your tax return instead.
Clearly they're lying and you should correct them post-haste.
