You could call us tax-perts, but it\u2019s not really caught on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did we launch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that doing your taxes can be a gloomy affair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re self-employed, a landlord, an investor, a CIS subcontractor, you live abroad or anything in between, you\u2019ll have to file a tax return. To do this, you either need an accountant or you can do it yourself on the HMRC\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds simple enough, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tax in 10(ish) seconds - what is Self Assessment?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pMg5p0tJ-z8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not so simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get to the HMRC\u2019s website, things aren\u2019t so rosy. The government gateway is one to confusion and dread &#8211; and if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing, it\u2019s complicated to navigate and often leaves you with more questions than answers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can alternatively get yourself a personal accountant and have your tax return sorted for you without the HMRC heartache, but it will set you back a hefty lump sum or steep monthly fee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter Taxfix. We felt that there was a lack of good, affordable alternatives to the HMRC and traditional accounting services, so we created one. We use tech to take care of long administrative tasks and provide you with an accredited accountant to take care of your taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s a pay later CIS rebate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you work in the construction industry as a subcontractor, you\u2019ll most likely be part of the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). It was set up by HMRC to collect taxes from self-employed construction workers. Construction companies deduct either 20% tax (for those already registered) or 30% (for those who aren\u2019t registered for the CIS) for their workers, but annually, this often works out as more than they actually owe. CIS workers will therefore claim a rebate the following year &#8211; the tax they paid minus they tax they actually owed. The remainder is the rebate amount.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can help you claim your CIS rebate. Pay upfront for \u00a3119, all in or have the fee deducted from your rebate for \u00a3279.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Taxfix gospel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t believe in jargon or long-winded processes. What we believe in is making the tax return industry more accessible for all. We pride ourselves on demystifying the accounting industry to ensure that you\u2019re equipped with everything you need to know before you tackle your taxes. If you\u2019re newly self-employed especially, you don\u2019t have anyone to explain what everything means or an employer to get things sorted for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our online resources are free to all and they can help you get a steady footing in Self Assessment filing life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/\" target=\"_blank\">Taxopedia<\/a> &#8211; for jargon-free, easy-to-understand definitions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/category\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blogs<\/a> &amp; <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/guides-useful-information\/\" target=\"_blank\">Guides<\/a> &#8211; for <em>How To<\/em> guides, processes, any important updates, and more!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\">Calculators<\/a> &#8211; to help you work out what you owe or what you\u2019re owed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve not heard of Taxfix UK, get yourself comfortable for the rundown.\u00a0 We\u2019re a team of tech geeks and accountants dedicated to making tax returns less arduous.
