Is Righto Tax legit?

It is a real company. Righto Tax is a trading name of NJG Consultancy Ltd, company number 16095900, registered in England and Wales on 22 November 2024. Tax plans start once our HMRC registrations are complete.

Our company details and VAT number GB499186130 can be checked on GOV.UK, as they stood on 19 October 2026.

"Legit" usually means three things: the business is real, it is allowed to do the work, and it won't misuse your details. You shouldn't take any firm's word for those, ours included, so this page shows where to check each one.

What to check, and what you should find

GOV.UK says the Supervised Business Register lists each business's registration number, name, trading name, the first part of its postcode, the date supervision started and the sectors it covers. HMRC also says that being on the register is not an endorsement of the business.

What we do, and what we don't

Righto Tax sorts your books and prepares your Making Tax Digital quarterly figures. You send them to HMRC yourself with free Making Tax Digital software. We never sign in to HMRC for you or ask for your HMRC login. We use automated software, including AI, with the company's director accountable. Prices are fixed and include VAT: Trades Tax is £35 a month or £350 a year, and Landlord Tax is £15 a month for 1 or 2 properties or £20 for 3 or 4. Trades Tax and Landlord Tax: Coming later. Not available yet: starts once our HMRC registrations are complete. Landlord Compliance, a compliance calendar without tax filing, is £6 a month. You can cancel online.

We don't do partnerships or limited companies, payroll, or CIS contractor returns. If you need any of those, an accountant or other software is the better fit, and our comparison with a local accountant sets out where each one suits.

Why the HMRC registrations matter

HMRC is bringing in, in stages, a legal requirement for anyone paid to deal with it about someone else's tax to register with it for an agent services account. A firm also needs money-laundering supervision first, and GOV.UK says HMRC rejects an agent services account application until that supervision is approved. That is why our tax plans don't start until both are in place. Ask any service you're considering which body supervises it for money laundering and whether it is registered with HMRC or, while HMRC's staged rollout lasts, when its registration window closes.

Righto Tax is an independent business and is not part of HMRC.

What this means for you

Whoever you use, the checks are the same. A firm that says it is a limited company but isn't on Companies House, a VAT number that doesn't come back as valid, or a request for your HMRC sign-in details are all reasons to stop. Sole traders and ordinary partnerships aren't on Companies House, so ask them who supervises them for money laundering. Under HMRC's process an agent sends you a link, you sign in to HMRC yourself and approve it, and GOV.UK says that link expires after 21 days. If you authorise a main agent for Making Tax Digital, they can also send your tax return; a supporting agent, such as a bookkeeper sending only your quarterly updates, cannot. Either way, you remain responsible for checking it is correct.

We are new, so we have no client reviews yet, and we will never publish made-up ones. If you would rather wait until we are on HMRC's register, that is a sensible choice, and the checks above will show you when we are.
