			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a freelancer or contractor working in the UK, then your tax issues are likely to be a bit more complicated than people who are regularly employed. We&#8217;ve put together a guide to help you through it and sort out your tax. One major thing you need to sort out as quickly as possible is whether your business means you need to register a company or if you are self-employed and working as a sole trader as this can affect what tax you pay.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the issue of VAT. You don&#8217;t have to worry about this too much if you&#8217;re on low to average earnings, but if you earn over £64,000 a year then you need to register for VAT. This is so you can collect and claim for Value Added Tax. It can be a complicated business as it adds an extra complication to your tax return, so if you&#8217;re worried about it you could ask an accountant to help you. It can be useful to separate the VAT when sending invoices.</p>
<p>One of the biggest tax issues UK freelancers have to deal with is the yearly self-assessment tax return. In order to complete this, you should keep a record of all costs associated to your work as well as all your earnings so you can input them into the form. This helps HMRC work out how much tax you owe. The tax return is based on the previous financial year (from April &#8211; April) and the tax you pay is based on your earnings in that year. One last thing to consider is how you&#8217;ll be paying your tax bill. It can be a good idea to have a cushion of money put by in case the following tax year is a bit lean and you don&#8217;t earn much as you&#8217;ll still be expected to pay the tax bill for the previous year. It can also be wise to put aside money throughout the year so that when tax time rolls around, you&#8217;ll have enough saved that you&#8217;ll be able to pay is easily.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first think you should be looking in tax software is how simple, easy and understandable the application is. If the software is complex, uses too many professional and technical terms and does not offer a clean easy to use navigation system, it will be stressful to prepare a return with it. TaxTreasure is one solution that offers really nice and simple-to-use navigation system. You can easily switch from the personal data screen to the tax deductions screens or goto the W2 worksheet where you will be able to quickly copy your W2 data to the software. Turbotax is another solution that makes your life easy when it comes to menus.</p>
<p>One of the concerns raised by taxpayers when filing taxes online is to make sure they do not make mistakes on the return that could lead to IRS audit. Whether it is a math error, filling out the wrong form or claiming a deduction or credit that is not allowed, taxpayers want to feel confident when they use online tax software. There are two levels of support, the first one is technical support that allows you to ask questions about the software and assist you when you are having problems operating it, the second one is the processional support that allows you to receive tax advice and helps you to maximize your refund. TaxTreasure is unique in offering both levels. It offers technical support to its users but unlike most online tax software it offers its users a special feature &#8220;File and Ask&#8221; that allows you to ask a tax professional your tax question while you are online, preparing your tax return. TaxCut an HR&#038;Block&#8217;s software offers the two levels as well and it too helps you get answers to both technical questions and professional tax advice.</p>
<p>The whole point behind e-filing your return is to lower your tax preparation cost, therefore an important factor in determining which software to use is it pricing and value. What you are looking for is not necessarily the lowest price, but the best value, a package that offers extremely user-friendly solution, both technical and professional support and all for a reasonable price. Many of the software offers you a low entry level price when you start your federal return and then charge you arms and legs for any other feature or a state tax return. In your search for the best online tax software make sure you find one that offers a package that includes your federal return, state return, technical and professional support and off course audit protection. TaxSlayer is one of the software that offers competitive pricing with federal returns starting at $9.95. TaxTreasure is another solution that offers more than reasonable prices but more than that it offers value, with returns starting at $14.95 it offers you a complete package that covers all your tax filing needs.</p>
