Article Abstract:
There are a number of software packages to deal with United Kingdom income tax returns, and they are expecially likely to be useful with the new self-assessment system. The tax authorities offer their own package free of charge but it cannot be used by the self employed or by people with relatively complex affairs. Taxpayers still have to find the information needed on capital transactions, unearned income and the like, but using software helps them to be more logical and systematic.
