Hello. My wife and I have our own personal tax returns plus our partnership return each year. Our affairs are incredibly simple, Our personal returns can be submmitted directly to HMRC via our personal tax account. And yet our partnership return cannot. We have to buy "software" from a third party in order to submit it. Can anyone shed any light on why, exactly? It's not as if partnership returns are that complicated. I'm exercised about this because, well, it just seems silly, and two, I bought software from a supplier on the HMRC approved list which turned out not to be fit for purpose - it had bugs and it just didn't work. We had to wait for it to be debugged. Very annoying. So - come on HMRC, why not just allow partnerships to submit tax information direct, like personal returns?
