Who has to complete a self-assessment tax return? 

You have to register for self-assessment and complete a self-assessment tax return if you are: 
 
a director of a limited company receiving untaxed income 
self employed 
employed and earning over £100k 
Earning over £50,000 and receiving child benefit 
Earning income that hasn’t been taxed 
Receiving property income 

How the Self Assessment process works 

HMRC may automatically send you a Self Assessment notice if they know that one is required. However they do not always and if your circumstances require that submit one then it is your responsibility to register for self assessment. 
 
Your self assessment return covers as tax year i.e. 6th of April to 5th of April the following year. You have until the 31st of January the year following the end of the tax year to submit your return and pay any tax due. 
If you need to submit a self assessment return then you may fall into the payments on account scheme where, rather than paying any tax due by the 31st of January you need to make 2 estimated tax payments during the tax year with a balancing payment due by the 31st of January. 
You will fall into the payments on account regime if you have over £1000 of tax due at the year end or if more than 80% of your income is not taxed at source.

Why do you need advice 

Depending on your circumstances completing a tax return can be complicated. All income your earn as an employee need to be declared along with any benefits that you get as part of your employment. 
If you have a sole trade then accounts will need to be prepared so that income earned can be accurately declared. We can help you declare accounts to ensure you claim all of the deductions to which you are entitled. 
 
If you have a rental property or maybe you just rent a room in your house then any income earned needs to be declared. Again deductions are allowed to reduce your tax liability and we can help you with this. 
All income from interest and dividends needs to be declared on your returns as long as income from other forms of trading such as Crypto which can be very complicated. 
 
Income earned from overseas sources and taxes paid overseas are all considered when completing a tax return. Understanding your residency situation is important here. 
 
In addition to income tax needing to be reported on a self assessment return any capital gains also need to be declared. If you have sold an asset such as an investment property or shares and there is a capital gain on this then it needs to be declared. 
 
The above areas are not exhaustive. There are a huge range of things that need to be declared on a self-assessment tax return, the rules around many of these areas are complicated. Sherwin Currid are experienced in helping with all aspects of a personal tax return.
