Why can’t I see my tax return on the HMRC portal yet?

HMRC’s systems can take 2–3 days to process returns and display them on your account.

Why is your Self Assessment service free?

Having launched in beta, we are now actively seeking feedback. So far, it’s going great! Input from users helps us to enhance our service – and we’re keen for more.

While we may charge for optional add-ons later, we encourage you to use AbraTax for free and let us know what you think!

Do you support HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD)?

Yes. Our service is actively evolving to align with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for ITSA) initiative. Although timelines and specifications have changed over time, they now appear more definitive:

Mandatory MTD for ITSA will begin for many taxpayers in starting April 2026
The self-employed and people with property income will be among the first affected
Self Assessment returns will require third-party software
Users will need to file quarterly (rather than annual) returns

Please contact us (mtd-itsa@abratax.co.uk) for more info, or if you're interested in joining our pilot scheme!

Do you support attachments for Self Assessment returns?

Yes. You can upload up to 20 attachments with each AbraTax Self Assessment. You can add descriptions for each attachment, and refer to them using the “Other Information” spaces in the tax forms.

Simply select “Upload Attachments” on the “Customise Your Return” page. Note that HMRC requires PDF files (up to 5 MB).

What can I do if I made a mistake on my submitted self assessment return / are amended returns supported ?

If you make a mistake, you can submit an amended return. HMRC allows up to 9 return amendments in any tax year. To submit an amended self-assessment return, start a new submission as normal, select “Amended Submission” on the “Customise Your Return” page, and proceed as usual.
