By the sound of it you may not need an accountant to do your tax return.
Why would anyone want an accountant to do their tax? The world of tax laws and legislation is a complex one, and accountants are trained to understand the requirements for tax return compilation. I suppose people use an accountant for peace of mind, having the knowledge that someone who knows what they are doing (and paid accordingly) are completing their return.
Anyone confident enough with doing their return themselves should be encouraged to do so, but always remember that an accountant can complete the work if preferred.
