What is Self Assessment?
A self-assessment is basically a form that you must fill out correctly and accurately, and it is an official Government tax return form. You must report your exact earnings, and where each of your earnings come from. You must also state any allowances you may have that reduce your tax deductions.
This is all the taxpayer's responsibility, whereas this wasn't the case in previous self-assessments. The taxpayer must work out how much tax they need to pay and report it to HMRC at the end of the year. They must also make the owed tax payments and ensure they are correct.
What Does the Form Look Like?
You can either choose to complete the online self-assessment form or the paper-based form. On this form, you will be required to accurately share your details from all of your earnings and incomes. This includes your employment and any dividends or invoices. You must also include any allowances you may have that reduce your tax payments.
However, based on yourself and your current circumstance, you may have to fill out more than one form. These include the UK property form, the self-employment form, the capital gains summary form, the tax calculation summary form, the partnership form, and many others too.
How to Make A tax Return
To make a tax return, the first thing you need to do is register for the self-assessment tax return. You will be given a form, which must be filled out correctly and accurately. If you require any help with this, it is important to get in touch with a professional.
You also must make sure that you pay the bill before the stated deadline. Here at Penny & Pounds, we provide expert and professional advice and guidance for all our clients, and we have years of experience in the industry. We are always here to help you with your tax returns.
What are the penalties?
The penalties will depend on what you have done wrong. However, usually, the penalties are given due to being late filing the forms. A £100 penalty is given straight after the due date of the form, even if the actual tax amount has been paid, or no tax was due.
The later you are with the form, the higher the penalties will be. For example, if you are three months late, you will be charged £10 every day, up to £900. If you are over six months late, then you will be charged £300 or 5% of your due tax.
Should I use an accountant for my tax return?
It is definitely the best idea to hire an accountant for your tax return, as they will help you ensure everything is correct and accurate. They can also advise you if you have any problems along the way. Hiring an accountant will also speed the process up, saving you more time.
