Individuals who are self-employed, sole traders, partners in a partnership, company directors, or have income from other sources such as rental properties or investments may need to complete a self-assessment tax return.
The deadline for submitting a self-assessment tax return and paying any tax owed is usually 31st January following the end of the tax year. However, it's essential to check HMRC's deadlines for the specific tax year.
You will need details of your income, including earnings from employment, self-employment, pensions, and investments, as well as any expenses, deductions, and allowances you are entitled to claim. You may also need records of any tax already paid, such as through PAYE.
Missing the deadline for submitting your self-assessment tax return may result in penalties and fines from HMRC. It's essential to ensure that you submit your tax return on time to avoid any unnecessary penalties.
You can find more information about self-assessment tax returns on the HMRC website. HMRC provides guidance on who needs to complete a tax return, how to register for self-assessment, and how to complete and submit your tax return online.
You can typically claim expenses that are incurred wholly and exclusively for the purpose of your business or self-employment. This may include costs such as office rent, utilities, equipment, travel expenses, and professional fees. However, it's essential to ensure that expenses claimed are legitimate and supported by appropriate documentation.
If you are self-employed or have other sources of income that require you to complete a self-assessment tax return, you will need to register with HMRC. You can register online through the HMRC website or by contacting HMRC's helpline.
If you realize that you've made a mistake on your tax return after submitting it to HMRC, you should contact HMRC as soon as possible to correct the error. Depending on the nature of the mistake, you may need to file an amended tax return or provide additional information to HMRC.
It's essential to keep accurate records to support the information you include on your self-assessment tax return. This may include records of income, expenses, invoices, receipts, bank statements, and any other relevant documents. Keeping detailed records will help you complete your tax return accurately and efficiently.
If your tax bill is over £1,000, you may be required to make payments on account towards your next year's tax bill. Payments on account are usually made in two installments, one due by January 31st and the other by July 31st following the end of the tax year.
