Self Assessment Tax Return services
Submitting a self assessment tax return can be a daunting experience. A variety of different people can need to complete a self assessment, from a sole trader to a Limited company director. It can be challenging to know if you need to file a return, what the key dates are and what to include on your tax return.
I am here to help you get yours submitted on time, whilst claiming all the expenses and allowances we can.
What is a self assessment tax return?
Self-assessment or a personal tax return is the system HMRC uses to collect income tax. Tax is typically deduced at source for employment and pension income, but for other untaxed income it needs to be declared on a tax return.
Do I have to submit a self assessment?
You must submit a tax return if:
- You were a self employed sole trader and earnt more than £1000 in the tax year
- You were a partner in a business partnership
- You had a total taxable income of over £100,000
- You have to pay the high income child benefit charge
You may also need to submit a tax return if you have untaxed income, for example:
- Covid grants/support payments
- Rental income from property
- Dividends
- Savings or investment income
- Foreign income
Self assessment tax return deadlines
31st January: The deadline for submitting your online tax return and paying your tax liability for the previous tax year. For example 6th April 2022 – 5th April 2023, will be due 31st January 2024.
If you need to pay payments on account, the first payment on account is also due on 31st January. [See video: What are payments on account?]
31st July: The second payment on account is due.
5th October: You must let HMRC know that you need to submit a tax return, if you have untaxed income for the previous tax year.
31st October: The deadline for submitting your paper tax return, for the previous tax year.
Can I submit the tax return myself?
You can submit a self assessment tax return yourself through your government gateway. However, I would recommend working with an accountant, to ensure it’s correct and compliant with HMRC and that you’re using all the allowances and expenses you can.
In my experience, most people that I have seen submit their own tax returns, either make some sort of mistake or don’t claim all the expenses and allowances they could have.

I am very much enjoying working with Every Cloud. Tom has been very helpful with my new business and I look forward to moving the business forward with Every Cloud’s help.
Tom offers a great service, as a new business and no previous experience Tom has helped me every step of the way no matter how basic the question is! Always happy to explain and talk me through any issue`s, systems or questions I may have, just a great service in every way!
I booked in for a 'power hour' session with Tom as being a relatively new business there are so many elements of accounting that are confusing and can leave you feeling a bit unsure how to move forward. The session with Tom was so helpful and exceeded my expectations - we managed to address so many different areas within the hour and put to rest things that I had been struggling with for some time. This gave me peace of mind and supported a clearer avenue forward with my accounting and tax. Tom has a really personable and down to earth style when giving explanations and advice, making conversations with him really easy to understand. He really understood my concerns and tailored his focus and advice to my business circumstances. I would highly recommended Tom and wouldnt hesitate to book in with him again for further support as my business grows.
I have been using Every Cloud Accounting for almost a year now. I had previously been using a large online company who weren't giving me the support I needed as a first time business owner.
