Couldn’t agree more.
All this stressing of which box to fill in here and what account to declare there with advise coming from every angle giving layman’s opinions on what I did last year and it was fine----- .
Using a professional is stress free and unlike my experience of the UK experts here are very affordable.
Having previously worked in France for 10 years during which time my particular expertise had to be fully registered and insurance backed and with it I carried the responsibility of my advise and action then beware of perhaps not understanding what you might read and subsequently act on.
I am sure that many who fill in and submit thier own tax return will be fine and it will not a DIY disaster but for me reading the various well intentioned suggestions are best used to gain a general understanding so that I can ask questions to my professional should I need to.
