Self Assessment Tax Returns
Accurate, timely self assessment tax return support for individuals, company directors, landlords and higher earners, with practical tax advice available where needed.
Tax returns prepared properly and explained clearly
We prepare self assessment tax returns for a wide range of clients, from individuals who simply want their annual return dealt with properly, through to directors, landlords and clients with more involved tax affairs.
Our aim is to make the process straightforward, ensure the return is accurate, explain what tax is due and identify any issues or planning opportunities where relevant.
Whether your return is relatively straightforward or includes dividends, property income, pension contributions, capital gains or PAYE coding issues, we will deal with it carefully and keep you informed throughout.
Self assessment support for different types of taxpayer
Some tax returns are simple. Others need more care. We help clients understand what needs to be reported, what tax is due and what HMRC may need to know.
Individuals
If you have been asked to file a tax return, we can prepare and submit it for you, calculate the tax due and explain the payment position clearly.
Company directors
We report salary, dividends, benefits and other income correctly, and where we also act for the company, we can join up the company and personal tax position.
Landlords
We prepare returns for landlords and property owners, including rental income, finance costs, allowable expenses and jointly owned property.
A careful review, not just a filing service
A tax return is not just a form to file. It can highlight pension relief, dividend planning, PAYE coding errors, capital gains, rental property issues or payments on account that need attention.
Where something looks unusual, we will tell you rather than simply filing the return and moving on.
Directors, dividends and personal tax
Company directors often need a personal tax return as well as company accounts and corporation tax returns.
We can prepare the director's personal tax return alongside the company work, making sure salary, dividends, benefits, pension contributions and any other income are reported correctly.
This joined-up approach matters because the company and personal tax positions are often connected.
Tax return issues we often help with
We do not just prepare the return. We help clients understand the figures and deal with practical tax issues that often sit around self assessment.
PAYE coding problems
HMRC tax codes can become messy where there are pensions, benefits, multiple employments or previous underpayments. Where we spot a problem, we can help explain and correct it.
Payments on account
Payments on account can catch people out. We explain what is due, when it is payable and whether a reduction claim may be appropriate.
Late returns and HMRC letters
If a return is late or HMRC has written to you, we can review the position, bring the return up to date and advise on penalties or next steps.
