Facing the UK's extensive tax code can feel like braving a storm without a compass, especially when preparing your self-assessment tax return. From understanding various deadlines to knowing your responsibilities, each step can seem overwhelming. This guide aims to navigate these turbulent waters and make the process more manageable.

Common Triggers for a Required Tax Return

Several scenarios may require you to submit a self-assessment tax return. Some of the most common ones include:

• Being self-employed or a partner in a partnership

• Acting as a company director

• Having large amounts of savings or investment income

• Having untaxed savings or investment income

• Owning land or property that is being let

• Having a household income in excess of £50,000 while receiving Child Benefit

• Earning income from overseas

• Selling or giving an asset away (such as a holiday home or shares)

• Living or working abroad or not being domiciled in the UK

Why You Need Professional Help

While the staff at HM Revenue & Customs can provide some guidance, they aren't tasked with advising you on how to organise your affairs to minimise your tax. For expert advice and peace of mind, it's best to consult a professional.

Minimising Your Risk

We're not just about filing your returns. We also analyse your self-assessment tax return to identify any tax savings and anomalies that need to be addressed before the return is submitted. This proactive approach helps to minimise your risk of a HM Revenue & Customs enquiry into your tax affairs.
