Personal Tax FAQs

Common questions about our personal tax services

You must complete a self-assessment if you are self-employed, a company director, have rental income over £1,000, investment income over £10,000, capital gains above the annual exemption or earn over £100,000. Even if you are not legally required to file, a return can often be beneficial to claim reliefs and refunds. We review your circumstances and advise whether a return is necessary.

The deadline for online self-assessment returns is 31 January following the end of the tax year (5 April). For example, the 2024/25 tax year runs from 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025, with the filing deadline of 31 January 2026. Payment of any tax due is also required by 31 January. We ensure your return is filed on time and help you plan for tax payments in advance.

Yes. We identify tax-saving opportunities including maximising pension contributions, claiming allowable expenses, using capital gains exemptions, optimising dividend allowances and structuring income tax-efficiently. Our proactive approach ensures you benefit from every available relief while remaining fully compliant with HMRC. For business owners, we also advise on tax-efficient remuneration strategies.

Absolutely. We advise on CGT for property sales, share disposals, business asset sales and investment gains. Our service includes calculating your tax liability, identifying available reliefs (such as private residence relief, business asset disposal relief and investors' relief), planning the timing of disposals and filing required returns. CGT planning can deliver substantial savings when structured correctly.

Our fees are fixed and agreed upfront based on the complexity of your tax affairs. A straightforward self-assessment return typically starts from as little as £120 + VAT. More complex returns involving rental income, capital gains, foreign income or multiple income sources are priced individually. We provide a clear quote before commencing work. For more information, please contact us for a no-obligation discussion.

Yes. We provide professional representation during HMRC self-assessment enquiries and investigations. Our team liaises directly with HMRC, prepares supporting documentation, defends your position and works to resolve matters efficiently and favourably. Having experienced tax advisers represent you during an enquiry provides reassurance and protects your interests throughout the process.
