First-timer tax returns, worry-free

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

The one-off cost covers your Self Assessment being prepared and filed by an accredited accountant, VAT included. If anything extra comes up, we’ll let you know.

Most people don’t. If extra work is needed, we’ll always be upfront so nothing comes as a surprise.

Your return checked, prepared and filed with HMRC by an accredited accountant, VAT included, plus one amendment within 12 months if needed. You can ask any question you’d like on this return. Should you receive an HMRC letter or inquiry afterwards, we’ll be here to help.

We cover the vast majority of our clients within our service fee. However, as with any service, there are a few exceptions that require extra support – including (but not limited to) multi-year pension tapering, large volumes of bookkeeping, or complex capital gain calculations.

If we realise you need more advanced help, we will explain why and give you the option to proceed at a higher fee or discuss a refund if you decide not to continue.
