Who needs one
Do I need to file a return?
You do if any of these is you.
Self-employed
Any trade or business earning over £1,000 a year, including subbies. The trading allowance rises to £3,000 from 6 April 2027.
Landlord
Rental income over £1,000, even if you made a loss.
Director
Taking dividends from your company, or HMRC has asked you to file.
Paying less tax, legally
Most people miss expenses
Every pound of genuine business cost comes off your profit before tax. Miss them and you overpay. We go through your year and claim everything you're entitled to.

If you've had CIS deducted, we check every statement against HMRC's records and claim the refund with your return. Had tax taken through PAYE as well? That's credited too.
Already filed yourself and think you missed things? Returns can be amended for 12 months after the deadline, and refunds claimed for up to four years.

Dates that matter
File early, get your refund early
The tax year ends 5 April. You can file from 6 April and HMRC pays refunds within a few weeks. The deadline is 31 January, and the fine for missing it is £100 on day one, rising from there.
Making Tax Digital

Questions
Self assessment questions
I've never filed before. Where do I start?
You register with HMRC for a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR). We do that for you, then collect your figures. Allow two to three weeks for the UTR to arrive, so don't leave it until January.
What if I'm behind by a year or more?
We file the missing years, work out what's owed or refundable, and appeal penalties where you have a reasonable excuse. Coming forward before HMRC chases you always ends better.
What are payments on account?
If your tax bill is over £1,000, HMRC asks you to pay half of next year's estimated bill in advance, on 31 January and 31 July. We'll explain exactly what you owe and when, and reduce them if your income has dropped.
Can you do it all on WhatsApp?
Yes. Send photos of receipts and statements, we send you the return to approve, you sign electronically. Most clients never visit the office.
Why monthly rather than a one-off?
Monthly is cheaper over the year and means you can message us any time, not just in January. One-off suits you if you just want this year done and dusted.
What did the 2026 Budget change for me?
The trading allowance rises to £3,000 and property and savings tax rates go up from April 2027, and Making Tax Digital reaches £30,000 turnover. Read our Budget 2026 summary.
