Full accounting subscriptions

Title: Unlimited Subscriptions & Self-Assessment Filing

Summary:
This article explains CalCal’s Unlimited and Unlimited+ subscriptions and how Self-Assessment filing works within them.

Current prices (Unlimited and Unlimited+)

These are the full accounting subscription prices:

• Unlimited — £5 per month or £50 per year. Accounting, reports, and Self Assessment filing. Monthly plans unlock Self Assessment filing after 3 months.
• Unlimited+ (also called Unlimited Plus) — £8 per month or £80 per year. Everything in Unlimited, plus VAT returns (MTD) and VAT reports.
• Tax Return Only (pay per return) — £35 for one Self Assessment submission. Separate from Unlimited / Unlimited+.

Unlimited and Unlimited+ are for one business with unlimited customers and suppliers in CalCal. They are not an accountant multi-client plan. For VAT MTD filing you need Unlimited+; for Income Tax MTD quarters see the MTD for Self Assessment guide.

Common questions this answers: how much is Unlimited, Unlimited+ cost, Unlimited Plus price, subscription price, monthly yearly fees, clients customers on Unlimited Plus.

What is the Unlimited subscription?

The Unlimited subscription provides ongoing access to CalCal’s accounting tools – recording earnings and expenses in the Calculating Calendar, sending invoices and statements, tracking asset purchases and stock value. It includes Self-Assessment tax return submission as part of the plan, much of it pre-filled with your totals and figures from the year.

It is designed for users who:

• Want year-round access to their records
• Are self-employed or limited company
• May also need VAT or ongoing reports

Self-Assessment with an Unlimited plan

With an Unlimited or Unlimited+ subscription, you can:

• Prepare and submit Self-Assessment returns each tax year
• Use supported forms such as:
  • SA100, SA101, SA102
  • SA103 (self-employment)
  • SA104 (partnership)
  • SA105 (property)
  • SA106 (foreign income)
  • SA107 (trusts)
  • SA108 (Capital Gains Tax — CGT: Capital Gains Tax in CalCal, from tax year 2020)
  • SA109 (non-resident)
• Reuse stored data across tax years
• Keep ongoing records for future submissions

How to add forms

On a legacy Self Assessment year (the year shows a forms badge), add forms like this:

1. Open Tax in the sidebar, then Tax Years.
2. Open the tax year and continue into SA Submission.
3. Go to the Your forms step.
4. Tap Select forms.
5. Turn on the forms you need (for example CGT: Capital Gains Tax for SA108), then save or go back.
6. Open each form from the list to complete it, then continue the return as usual.

If a form is already switched on, open it from the Your forms list — you do not need to add it again. More detail on the wizard: How to find and submit your Self Assessment return.

Monthly vs annual subscriptions

• Annual plans allow immediate access to Self-Assessment filing
• Monthly plans require a short qualifying period before filing is enabled

If you need to submit a return urgently, the pay-per-return option or an annual subscription may be more suitable.

Choosing the right option

Important notes

• Subscriptions provide software access only
• CalCal does not provide personalised tax advice
• HMRC guidance remains authoritative for eligibility and form requirements
