Selftax review
A low-cost web tax filer with Self Assessment, HMRC submissions and MTD workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Selftax is a web-based UK tax-filing platform for individuals, self-employed people, landlords, company directors, non-residents and partnerships. Its step-by-step wizard supports Self Assessment preparation and direct submission to HMRC, while coverage extends to self-employment income and expenses, UK land and property income, partnership returns, and investment and savings income. Free account registration is available, with paid options for submission or assisted filing.
The published plans show a Standard option at £12.99 per tax return, where users submit returns themselves and need a Government Gateway ID. Premium costs £60 per tax return and adds tax consultant review, assisted preparation and submission; a Government Gateway account is not mandatory. Professional is £90 per 10 tax returns for accountants and bookkeepers submitting on clients’ behalf. Separate MTD VAT packages cost £15, £36, £60, £75 or £80 annually, depending on the package, and include spreadsheet import and direct HMRC submission.
HMRC integration is central to Selftax, covering Self Assessment, MTD VAT and MTD ITSA. MTD ITSA features include quarterly updates and a final declaration, while live chat, email and video guidance provide support options. The platform suits UK filers who want guided web-based filing and broad tax-return coverage without paying for consultant assistance on every return. Users who require a mobile platform, or who prefer a single consolidated subscription for multiple MTD VAT workflows, should consider alternatives with those characteristics.
