CLARITY. CONFIDENCE. CONTROL.
Self-Assessment Tax Returns
Whether you’re self-employed, a landlord, or just need to report extra income, we’ll handle your tax return with care and clarity — so you can avoid penalties and stay in control.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Need to file a tax return? We’ll handle it.
If you’ve got untaxed income — from self-employment, property, dividends or a side hustle — you probably need to complete a Self Assessment tax return. And if you’re not sure, we can confirm that for you too.
We help if you:
- Are self-employed and earned over £1,000
- Have rental income (UK or overseas)
- Receive dividends, crypto income, or other untaxed earnings
- Earn over £100,000
- Are in a business partnership
- Need to claim tax reliefs or benefits
- Were told to file by HMRC
If that’s you — even if it’s your first time — we’ll make sure it’s filed correctly and on time.
CHALLENGES
Stressed about getting it wrong? You’re not alone.
Filing a tax return sounds simple — until you actually start. Suddenly you’re not sure what to include, whether you’re missing something, or if you’ll get a fine for doing it late.
Common problems we help clients avoid:
- Missing receipts or forgetting income
- Claiming expenses incorrectly — or not at all
- Guessing your tax or NI bill
- Filing late and facing penalties
- Feeling out of your depth with HMRC
Even if you could file it yourself, it doesn’t mean you should. We’ll make sure it’s accurate, complete, and submitted with no last-minute panic.
