Excellent. If ten points could have been allocated then that would have been the score. Ten against five says it all.

No fuss, easy to sort my tax return. Sent my details and everything I was asked to send over.
Im used to doing my return online myself so it was nice and a lot less stressful having it all completed for me. Not as expensive as I thought it would be.
