SELF-ASSESSMENTS

- For personal or business tax, whether it for the sole trader, partnership or if you are an individual that rents a property, has savings and pensions we can help.

We will provide a Statement of Earnings informing you of your Income Tax and National Insurance liabilities, complete the self-assessment form online and send you a copy for you to check and approve, before we submit online on your behalf to HMRC.

 

DO I NEED A TAX RETURN?


If you received a notification since last April saying you need to submit a self-assessment form, then you must do it. If you fall into one of the following categories it's likely you'll need to file a return even if you have not received a notification:

• You are self-employed.

• You are a company director.

• Your annual income is £100,000 or more.

• You have an income from savings, investment or property.

• You need to claim expenses or relief's.

• You or your partner receives child benefit and your income is over £50,000.


WHAT IF I AM LATE PAYING?

If you're late making your payment on account you'll be charged 3% interest. This is on top of the minimum £100 fine for missing the deadline for filing your tax return.

Let us at Penpoll Accounts take all the worry and hassle away, we will complete and submit your annual Self Assessment return to HMRC, online. All you need to do is make sure you pay the amount payable when you receive the notification letter.

Paying fines, or missing out on claimable expenses, can make the world of difference to your life. By letting us do the hard work, you can relax in the knowledge that we will prepare and submit your legal responsibilities on time and in compliance with HMRC regulations.
