Self Assessment Tax Return

At Parkview Accounting Solutions Ltd, we provide professional self assessment tax return services in Hinckley for individuals, sole traders, landlords, and company directors.

Filing your tax return can be stressful and confusing, especially with changing HMRC rules. We make the process simple, accurate, and hassle-free—so you can focus on what matters most.

Completing a Self Assessment tax return can feel stressful, especially if you are self-employed, earning rental income, working under CIS, or receiving additional untaxed income. Missing deadlines or submitting incorrect information can result in HMRC penalties, interest charges, and unnecessary stress.

Self assessment is the system used by HMRC to collect income tax from individuals who do not have tax automatically deducted

You may need to file a tax return if you are:

• Self-employed or a sole trader

• A CIS subcontractor

• Receiving rental income from property

• A company director

• Receiving foreign income

• Earning untaxed income

• Claiming business expenses

• Receiving dividends or investment income

• Working as a freelancer or contractor

If you are unsure whether you need to submit a tax return, a local accountant in Hinckley can help you understand your obligations and avoid HMRC issues.

Missing HMRC deadlines can lead to automatic penalties. Important dates include:

• 5 October – Register for Self Assessment

• 31 October – Paper tax return deadline

• 31 January – Online tax return deadline

• 31 January – Tax payment deadline

Even if you cannot pay your tax immediately, it is important to submit your return on time to reduce penalties.

Many taxpayers make simple mistakes that can lead to delays, HMRC enquiries, or additional tax liabilities.

Common errors include:

• Missing income

• Claiming incorrect expenses

• Forgetting CIS deductions

• Incorrect mileage claims

• Poor record keeping

• Missing deadlines

• Entering incorrect UTR or NI numbers

Using a professional accountant for your Self Assessment tax return can help reduce errors and ensure your records are accurate.

CIS subcontractors often overpay tax throughout the year through CIS deductions. A properly prepared Self Assessment tax return helps subcontractors:

• Claim CIS tax suffered

• Claim allowable expenses

• Reduce taxable profit legally

• Potentially receive a tax refund

Common allowable expenses for subcontractors may include:

• Tools and equipment

• Fuel and travel

• Protective clothing

• Van expenses

• Phone and internet costs

• Insurance

• Accounting fees

Good record keeping is essential when preparing your CIS tax return.
