Frequently asked questions
Who needs to complete a Self Assessment tax return?
You may need to file if you are self-employed, a sole trader, a company director, a landlord, or if you have untaxed income such as dividends, foreign income, or capital gains above certain thresholds. HMRC may also notify you directly.
When is the Self Assessment deadline?
Online Self Assessment returns are usually due by 31 January following the end of the tax year. Paper returns are normally due by 31 October if you file by post. Balancing payments and payments on account may also be due on 31 January.
What is Making Tax Digital and does it affect me?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC's programme to move tax reporting online. Requirements depend on your income, business type, and the taxes you are registered for. We can advise what applies to you and help you keep compliant records.
What records do I need for my Self Assessment?
Typically you will need records of income, business expenses, bank statements, invoices, receipts, P60 or P45 forms, dividend vouchers, rental income details, and any other documents relating to income not taxed at source.
Can SHIBY Accountants file my return on my behalf?
Yes. Once we have reviewed your records and agreed the figures with you, we can prepare and submit your Self Assessment return to HMRC on your behalf and discuss any tax due.
