Self-Assessment

Not sure where to start?

Not sure how to register, or when to file your tax returns as a Sole Trader? Don’t worry; we do.

HMRC’s Self Assessment is a way that self employed individuals are able to pay income tax. It is dedicated from wages, pensions, and/or savings. It must be reported in a tax return, to be made by specific deadlines to avoid fines or interest. Anyone who makes over £1000 in a year from self employed work must register, even if you won’t earn over the tax threshold.

We will help support you through the process by filing your taxes for you, as well as being on hand for any questions you might have about it all.

Very professional, punctual, and customer oriented. My previous accountant was not very flexible and was overcharging me. I've been working with London Accountants for one financial period and they provide me with everything I was missing. I appreciate their support in managing my company accounts, in particular, their professional knowledge, ability to cope with the a lot of work in a short time period as well as the fact they kept agreed fees despite slightly different expectations.
