The purpose of a tax return is not only to declare all the income you have received in a specific tax year from all relevant sources. It’s also to record any allowable expenses, which will allow you to legitimately reduce any tax burden that you may be liable for.

We can ensure that you have included all the correct information within your self-assessment return. You will end up paying the appropriate tax due for your specific personal circumstances. It’s important to remember that you should always be paying the correct amount of tax but equally, you shouldn’t be paying any more.

If you are required to complete a self-assessment tax return then these figures will be used for purposes such as claiming tax credits or applying for a mortgage. Importantly, having these returns taken care of by a qualified accountant from a well-established firm will always add credibility and efficiency to your submission.
