I am a small business, single employee IT contractor looking for accounting software to do my annual returns and vat returns in the UK.

I've researched a bit about QuickBooks and Sage Instant Accounts but still can't make up my mind regarding which would be the best for me.

Have you used either and if so which one would you recommend ?

The company I work with uses Intuit QuickBooks Online and have had zero problems with it. The functionality is effective and it fits the size of our company as well. (Not huge, but I wouldn't consider it a 'small business')

Also, you can try a 30 day free trial.

QuickBooks Simple Start focuses on small business accounting, so for this reason it has a cleaner interface and is simple to use. QuickBooks Simple Start compared to Quicken Home

This article doesn't exactly have a bright light shining on Quickbooks, but I think it's fair to show you other alternatives: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2382514,00.asp [Note that it is from 2011]
