Tax Return Accountant

Accountants for Tax Returns

We set up as tax return accountants for small businesses in 1985 and have helped clients from a wide range of backgrounds file their self-assessment tax returns on time every year. As online tax accountants, we emphasise the convenience of accessing our services online, allowing us to assist clients regardless of their location in the UK.

Our service is prompt and easy to understand, and we’re happy to discuss what you need over the phone, by email or in person at our offices. But how do you know if you have to file a self-assessment tax return?

You must submit a Self-Assessment Tax Return if any of the following applied to you in the last tax year:

• you were self-employed as a ‘sole trader’ and earned more than £1,000 (before taking off anything you can claim tax relief on)
• you were a partner in a business partnership
• you had a total taxable income of more than £150,000
• you had to pay Capital Gains Tax when you sold or ‘disposed of’ something that increased in value
• you had to pay the High Income Child Benefit Charge

You may also need to send a tax return if you have any untaxed income, such as:

• money from renting out a property
• tips and commission
• income from savings, investments and dividends
• foreign income

If you are unsure, you can always check the HMRC website to find out if you need to submit a tax return.

We will discuss your situation with you and then provide you with a simple form to complete and we will also provide you with any tax return help you might need.
