Using Self Assessment Online if you're self-employed

If you're self-employed or a partner in a business partnership, you can send your tax return using the free service that HMRC provides or you can buy commercial software.

If you want to see what the free service looks like, follow the link below to see a demo of some typical pages from the tax return.

If you're sending a Partnership return you will need to buy commercial software to send your tax return instead. The demo doesn't show pages from tax return products provided by commercial software suppliers.
