    Who needs to file a self-assessment tax return?

    You're legally required to file an SA100 if you're self-employed earning over £1,000, a company director with untaxed income, a landlord earning rental income, a higher-rate taxpayer claiming pension relief, earn over £150,000 (from April 2024), receive Child Benefit while earning over £60,000, have capital gains over £3,000, or have foreign income. If you're unsure, send us a quick message: we'll tell you in plain English whether you need to file.

    What we do for your tax return

    We collect your figures via our secure portal (no spreadsheet wrestling), prepare your full SA100 including all supplementary pages - SA103 self-employment, SA105 property, SA106 foreign, SA108 capital gains, SA109 non-residence - and submit to HMRC electronically. You get a one-page summary showing income, allowances, reliefs claimed, tax due, payment dates and your unique tax reference (UTR) login details.

    Frequently asked questions

    How quickly can you file my return?+

    If you send everything in one go we file within 5 working days. In January we run a dedicated turnaround team and still hit 5-7 days, but it's always safer to send paperwork before Christmas.

    What if I've missed a previous year?+

    We can file up to 4 years of overdue returns. We'll also negotiate with HMRC to reduce penalties where possible: many clients have penalties cancelled in full.

    Do I need receipts for everything?+

    HMRC can ask to see receipts for 6 years. Use a free app like Hubdoc, Dext or even your phone camera and forward everything to the portal: we'll organise it.

    Can you pay HMRC for me?+

    We can prepare the payment reference and bank details, but the actual payment must come from your account. Most clients use HMRC's online direct-debit.
