About Self Assessment Software

Self Assessment Software is dedicated SA100 production from Swift Catalyst Ltd. Tax returns for people — not a full practice suite.

In short

Self Assessment Software is UK year-end Self Assessment software from Swift Catalyst Ltd. We build the SA100 desk — forms, calculation, reports and HMRC filing — for accountants and individuals. Prepare free; pay when you file. We do not sell bookkeeping, corporation tax, payroll or a practice suite.

Why a dedicated Self Assessment desk

Most “tax software” bundles the return with bookkeeping, CT600 or a full practice suite. That raises the price and dilutes the year-end job.

The return is the product

Accountants and individuals still need a proper SA100 workspace: HMRC pages, calculation, SA302-style reports and a filing desk.

Suites charge for more than SA

If you only need Self Assessment, you should not have to buy invoices, corporation tax or payroll seats to get there.

Published, simple pricing

Individuals pay per tax year when they file. Practices buy filing credits. Drafting never uses a credit.

Clear scope builds trust

Saying what we will not build is how the price and the product stay on Self Assessment.

What we build

One workspace for the year-end return — the same desk a practice or an individual uses after sign-in.

SA100 and pages

Main return plus the supplementary pages that apply, and the partnership SA800 path.

Calculation and reports

Combined tax calculation, SA302-style estimate and a detailed schedule you can print.

Filing desk

Draft → review → approve → submit. Status and snapshot for that client tax year.

Organisation isolation

Each login sees only its workspace. Sensitive identifiers are encrypted at rest.

Scope

What we will not build

If you need the row below, buy that product — then keep Self Assessment here. That is how the price stays on the return.

Not bookkeeping

No invoices, bank feeds or VAT returns. Keep FreeAgent, Xero or QuickBooks for the ledger.

Not corporation tax

No CT600, iXBRL or Companies House filings.

Not an accountant

This is software only. You stay responsible for the figures you file with HMRC.

Not MTD quarterly — yet

Year-end Self Assessment is included. Quarterly Income Tax updates are a later add-on.
