    Who Needs to File a Tax Return?

    You'll need to file a Self Assessment tax return if you're self-employed, a company director receiving dividends, a landlord with rental income, or if you have other untaxed income such as savings interest above your allowance, capital gains, or foreign income.

    As accountants in Brentwood, we prepare and file tax returns for individuals across Essex. We make sure every allowance and relief is claimed, and that your return is filed accurately and on time.

    What's Included

    Income calculation

    We gather and organise all your income sources — employment, self-employment, rental, dividends, and more.

    Expense review

    We identify every legitimate expense and allowance to reduce your tax bill legally.

    Capital gains reporting

    Property sales, share disposals, and crypto gains calculated and reported correctly.

    HMRC filing

    Your return submitted electronically to HMRC with confirmation of receipt.

    Tax calculation

    A clear breakdown showing exactly what you owe and when it's due, including payments on account.

    Payment reminders

    We'll remind you of your 31 January and 31 July payment deadlines so nothing catches you off guard.

    Key Deadlines

    Online tax returns must be filed by 31 January following the end of the tax year (5 April). Late filing results in an automatic £100 penalty, with additional penalties for returns more than 3 months late.
