What’s the expected turnaround time for preparing and filing my Self Assessment tax return?
If you take the help of our Self Assessment tax return accountants, the turnaround time will be quick as we’ve been doing this for a very long time.
However, the overall timeline also depends on how quickly you can provide them with all the necessary documentation and respond to their queries. Once they have everything they need, our staff might take a few days to a week to prepare and file the return, assuming no complex issues arise.
The earlier in the year you want to file your tax return the better. Many leave it until the last minute which could mean we are unable to process it in time if it is complex or if they fail to provide us with the required documentation. The best advice is to start the process in plenty of time. We can help throughout the year.
What is a Self Assessment?
What would I do if I paid extra tax?
If you’re self-employed and think you have paid the extra tax, you can ask the Inland Revenue (IR) to repay you by filling in the next tax return. The IR can also credit extra tax to your account even if you didn’t ask for it, if your account shows you’re due a refund.
What records do I need to file a Self Assessment tax return if I’m employed?
If you’re employed, you’ll need:
- Your P60 form, which summarises your income and tax paid for the year.
- If you’ve received any benefits or expenses from your employer, a P11D form will be necessary.
- Payslips can also be helpful, especially if you’ve changed jobs within the tax year. It’s advisable to keep all records for at least 22 months after the end of the tax year they relate to.
- Details of share dividends received.
- Interest from savings accounts.
- Any amounts of other sums of money which have not been taxed.
- Details of charitable donations and pension payments as these are both are offset against your tax bill.
What record do I need to file a Self Assessment tax return if I’m self-employed or a partner in a business?
For self-employed individuals or business partners, essential records include:
- Details of all business income and expenses.
- Personal income from the business.
- Capital expenditure.
- VAT records if registered.
- PAYE records if you employ others.
You should keep the records for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline of the relevant tax year.
Do I have to maintain other income sources for filing a Self Assessment tax return?
Ensure you have detailed records of other income sources, such as savings, investments, pension, rental income, foreign income, capital gains, and associated expenses or reliefs.
Records of charitable donations and pension contributions that qualify for tax relief and details of any student loan repayments will also affect your tax calculation.
