Self Assessment Tax Returns
What is a Self Assessment Tax Return?
You are legally required to complete and submit a Self Assessment Tax Return to HMRC if you are self-employed, a higher rate tax payer, a company director or have more complicated tax affairs. To find out if you need to complete a Self Assessment Return, please go to - http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/sa/need-tax-return.htm
How and when do I give this in?
All documentation must be sent to The Local Bookkeeper team as soon as possible in order for us to comply with the strict deadlines.
6 April: Issue of Self Assessment Returns by HMRC
31 October: Deadline for the submission of paper returns
30 December: If tax due is below £2,000 and you want this to be collected through your PAYE Tax Code your Tax Return must be submitted by this date
31 January: Final deadline for returns to be filed online
If you do not complete your return by the deadline and complete all relevant forms to declare you are self-employed or that you have any untaxed income, you will be charged interest and penalties.
How does the service work?
Upon engagement, we will ask you to complete a questionnaire to understand your personal tax situation.

We will also compute your tax liability, file your return online with H M Revenue & Customs, advise you of your total tax liability and the date each payment is due.
All sole trader Self Assessment Tax Returns are completed under the supervision of a Chartered Tax Adviser to ensure your Return is completed to the highest standard possible.
