You’ve got tax questions and we’ve got the answers!

Here are some common questions we’ve gotten from first-time filers like you.

If you’re earning any untaxed income over £1,000, you’ll need to file a tax return to report it to HMRC.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll owe tax. You’ll need to pay Income Tax and National Insurance if you earn more than £12,570 during a single tax year. 

If you’re earning capital gains over £3,000 you’ll owe Capital Gains Tax.

Most people in the UK don’t need to file a tax return because they’re taxed through a system called PAYE and only receive their income after tax. 

But, in other situations and for a variety of reasons, you might need to file a Self Assessment tax return. 

Some instances include:

  • You’re self-employed and earned over £1,000 untaxed
  • You have any untaxed income over £1,000
  • You want to claim a tax refund
  • HMRC tells you to submit one
  • You qualify for benefits

And more! Get all the details on who needs to file.

It’s when HMRC split your tax bill into two payments – one due on 31st January and the second due on 31st July. 

Most of the time, it’s for people who are self-employed.

You probably owe Payment on Account if:

  • Your tax bill is more than £1,000
  • Less than 80% of your total tax owed is paid from your salary
  • HMRC told you they were splitting your tax bill when you filed your tax return in January

Welcome! 

Using us to sort your taxes is easy and straightforward. 

Firstly, if you’ve already got an accountant, you’ll need to switch accountants over to Taxfix.
