What DTax Filer is
DTax Filer is a web-based service for preparing and submitting UK Self Assessment returns digitally to HMRC. It supports individuals with different income sources, including self-employment and rental income, and lists return sections SA100 through SA107, SA109 and SA110. The software calculates tax owed, saves returns for later, and sends submissions directly to HMRC, which then sends a confirmation email. Users need an activated HMRC online account with Self Assessment enabled before use. Returns can be amended by selecting the amended option when starting. Plans include a free Freemium option, Standard at £14.50 a month, Assisted at £60 a month, and Standard Plus at £19.50 per tax return. Each Freemium, Standard and Assisted subscription provides one return credit and is described as annual based. Standard Plus includes PDF download and HMRC submission but no advisor review, validation support or chat. Tax payments are made directly to HMRC.
