Self Assessment Tax Returns

We complete self assessment tax returns for our individual clients as well as completing self assessment corporation tax returns for their companies, as appropriate.

In the case of individuals these need to be completed by 31 January following the end of the tax year and for companies they need to be completed within 12 months from the financial year end.

Regarding companies this does seem a little strange seeing as the corporation tax needs to be paid nine months after the financial year end. Consequently we tend to complete self assessment corporation tax returns nine months after the financial year end at the same time as the financial accounts.

Increasingly with HMRC forms these are dealt with electronically, and the software we use is compliant with HMRC systems. This means we minimise your involvement in the process as far as possible, but ,of course, it is you who is responsible for filing the return, even though we do it on your behalf.

So we do occasionally require signatures from you, to hold on file, in case HMRC require evidence that you did sanction the returns.

With individuals and companies we will always contact you to tell you how much needs to be paid and when.

If you have completed form 64-8 and authorised us to act on your behalf with HMRC, then we will try to ensure as far as possible contact with HMRC is carried on through ourselves, and you are kept as hassle-free as is possible.

We will always let you have a copy of returns filed with HMRC which you will need to hold on to for a minimum of 3 years, but as these are filed and stored electronically by us, we will always have access to them.
