Self Assessment Tax Returns in Petworth Made Simple

You need to file a Self Assessment Tax Return if you are self-employed, a freelancer, a landlord with rental income, a company director, or if you have untaxed income such as dividends or foreign income. HMRC also requires a return if your income exceeds £100,000 or you need to claim certain reliefs. Our accountants can help you determine if you need to file.

Our service includes full preparation and submission of your SA100 form, calculation of your tax liability, identification of all allowable expenses and reliefs, and proactive deadline monitoring. We also handle any correspondence with HMRC on your behalf and provide year-round tax planning advice. Everything is managed end-to-end by our qualified accountants.

First, we collect your financial information, including income and expense records. We then prepare your SA100, ensuring all figures are accurate and all deductions are claimed. After you review and approve the return, we submit it digitally to HMRC and provide you with a copy for your records. The entire process is streamlined and stress-free.

You'll need to provide documents such as P60s, P45s, payslips, records of any self-employment income and expenses, bank statements, and details of any rental income or dividends. If you have foreign income, you'll need relevant foreign tax documents. Our accountants will guide you on what's needed for your specific situation.

To act as your agent, we need to be registered with HMRC. This involves linking your UTR number to our agent account, which we do securely and with your authorisation. Once registered, we can correspond with HMRC on your behalf and manage your tax affairs seamlessly. We handle this process for you.

If you miss the deadline, HMRC will issue a late filing penalty, and interest will accrue on any unpaid tax. However, our service includes proactive deadline monitoring, so we ensure your return is submitted well in advance. If you've already missed a deadline, we can still help you file as soon as possible and potentially mitigate penalties.

Our pricing is transparent and based on a fixed fee, with no hidden costs. The exact fee depends on the complexity of your tax affairs, such as the number of income sources. We'll provide a clear quote upfront before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect. You'll never be surprised by additional charges.

Yes, we can assist with backdated Self Assessment Tax Returns, helping you get up to date with HMRC. Filing late returns can be complicated, but our accountants have the expertise to handle them accurately and efficiently. We'll work to minimise any penalties and ensure you're compliant as soon as possible.
