Tax filer subscription suddenly cancelled

Anyone else?

Didn't find your answer?

I've just received an email from Taxfiler saying that my subscription has been cancelled although its paid by DD and gone through correctly every month since starting and I've not cancelled

Tried to phone couldnt get through and the answerphone cant take any more calls as its full up apparently. (I presume  by messages from others also trying to ring)

I can still use the service though so I'm not bothered much.

But anyone recd the same?

I've emailed and got this reply

"Due to the price realignment starting in July 2019, all old recurring payments have been cancelled.

Once your July invoice has been generated, you will be prompted to pay once signed into your Taxfiler account, and will be able to set up a new recurring payment or GoCardless direct debit.

Please let us know if this does not happen.

If you have any outstanding invoice(s) from June, please pay these as one-off payments using your credit/debit card by the ‘Checkout As Guest’ option via PayPal.

To do this, login to your Taxfiler account, and click the Pay Now button in Taxfiler. This will take you to the PayPal login screen. You can then click “Check out as guest” and this will allow you to pay using a credit/debit card.

Thank you."

I've just had the same. I simply assumed that it was to cancel the old monthly payment and replace it with the new. We shall see.

As you say, it still works

Ir*s - absolutely [***] poor as usual.

I use GoCardless myself, and there's no need for this rigmarole as far as I know. They just needed to up the DD amount which they (TF/Iris) instigate.

I assumed it was because I am going to annual. For the monthly ones I would have just amended it their end through Go cardless. I thought that was the point of a DD.

Message now on the Taxfiler login page:

"Notice to users paying by Direct Debit: we are currently setting up new subscription plans for some users who pay by direct debit. You may receive messages from GoCardless indicating that your subscriptions are being cancelled. New subscriptions will be created for your July payments. You do no need to do anything as this will happen automatically."

I still haven't had an email telling me that my subscription has gone up, though I shall probably go annual, but I can still get in at the moment.

I am just guessing, but watch out for some new really awful T&C's rather than the "easy in, easy out" terms up until now.

Bet they will be buried in the small print of the new sign up along the lines of "if you don't tell us between 90 and 92 days before the first sunday of the last week in the month before your renewal day, you have been auto-renewed for another 2 years at twice the rate"

Is it because the money is going to a different account ?

Now they have new owners, like ......

I emailed them immediately I got the cancellation email and got a reply. They told me this is because they need to set up new DD's for the changing rates next month.

Apparently we'll go into Taxfiler for the next invoice and reset up the DD. What a palaver.

Got the email today as well and tried calling but no answer, they rang me back to 4.30 and explained it was due to the price changes and yes my subscription was doubling.
Currently looking into finding a different software provider, if they can just double this year without telling us , how much will it go up next year. I am getting out before it hurts to much even.

Well they did tell us about a month ago. Several threads on the topic

But not everyone! I have still had nothing to tell me that there are changes. [EDIT] I know that there are, just I have had nothing formally

What I really really want is to see the practice management option running. I've been told it will be rolled out over the summer months. Maybe it's the summer months of next year they mean.
