What Sage Personal Tax is
Sage Personal Tax is browser-based software for practices preparing and submitting clients’ personal tax returns. Its online entry pages cover employment and self-employment income, pensions and benefits, property, investment income, allowances, reliefs, student loans, payments, and additional information. Users can preview computations, review returns, attach documents, and produce reports. Annual Data Questionnaires help practices collect client information, while the workflow can send a return to a client for review and approval before filing with HMRC. Sage validates SA100 returns against HMRC online-filing rules, and every validation must pass for online submission. Practices can file individual returns or multiple returns after registering for HMRC Online Services and entering credentials. A desktop workflow can generate a final return for online filing or print a paper copy for postal submission. Client integration can share clients from Sage Taxation programs through Sage Practice Solution; connections are disabled until enabled. The Personal Tax plan is included with Sage for Accountants and covers SA100 returns, HMRC calculations and validations, and online filing.
