Taxfix UK against TurboTax
TurboTax Full Service pairs US filers with an expert. Taxfix UK is built around the accountant doing the work for UK filers, so it is a service more than software.
There is no do-it-yourself software tier on the pages we read.
Where it falls short
Taxfix UK is a service where an accountant prepares the return, so it is less self-service than TurboTax Do It Yourself. The GBP 99 price is for new customers with conditions, and later-year prices are not shown on the pages we read. The pages do not state whether the UK company belongs to Taxfix SE in Berlin.
Is Taxfix UK right for you?
