Personal Tax

The most common reasons that a tax return may be required are as follows:

• You are self employed or a partner in a partnership
• You are a company director
• You have large amounts of savings or investment income
• You own land or property that is being let
• Your household receives Child Benefit and you have income in excess of £50,000
• You have income from overseas
• You have sold or given an asset away (such as a holiday home or some shares)
• You’ve lived or worked abroad or aren’t domiciled in the UK

The staff at HM Revenue & Customs are not tasked to advise you on how to organise your affairs and minimise your tax. Therefore, if you want to make sure you are paying the right amount of tax, you should consult a professional.

750,000 people missed the Tax Return deadline of 31st January 2018 and were fined £100 late filing penalty. They risk further fines and penalties the longer the Return and payment is outstanding.  This is getting worse each year in 2021 1.8 million people missed the 31st January deadline partially due to the pandemic.
