Self Assessment Accountants
How Our Personal Tax Return Accountants Can Help You
A Self Assessment Tax Return is how individuals report their income to HMRC.
This may include:
- Self-employment income
- Employment income
- Dividends
- Rental income
- Investment income
- Overseas income
You are responsible for ensuring everything is declared correctly and on time.
Mistakes or delays can result in penalties, interest and unnecessary stress.
Many people see their tax return as a once-a-year obligation. At BHUK, we see it as part of a much bigger picture. We don’t just prepare and submit your return. We:
- Review all your income sources carefully
- Identify available allowances and reliefs
- Ensure your tax position is efficient
- Highlight areas that may need planning going forward
Because your tax return should not leave you with questions, it should give you clarity and direction.
We support a wide range of individuals, including:
- Sole traders and freelancers (self-employed)
- Company Directors and Shareholders
- Property Landlords
- High earners and individuals with multiple income streams
- Individuals with foreign income or complex tax affairs
If your financial situation has become more complex, professional support becomes even more valuable
Our service goes beyond simply filling in forms. We provide:
- Preparation and submission of your Self Assessment Tax Return
- Review of all income sources (employment, dividends, rental income, investments, overseas income)
- Advice on allowable expenses and tax reliefs
- Capital gains calculations and reporting
- Liaising directly with HMRC on your behalf
- Clear explanation of your tax position – no jargon
We ensure you fully understand your numbers and your obligations, not just sign your Tax Return for submission.
- 6 April – Start of new tax year
- 31 October – Paper tax return deadline
- 31 January – Online submission deadline
- 31 January – Tax payment deadline
Missing deadlines results in automatic penalties, so early preparation is always recommended.
We guide you through the process, but typically require:
- Income records (employment, self-employment, rental, dividends)
- Expense records
- Bank statements and relevant documents
- Any HMRC correspondence
We can also connect directly with HMRC (with your authorisation) to simplify everything.
Preparing you for the future of tax reporting
HMRC is moving towards a more digital and frequent reporting system.
Making Tax Digital (MTD) will require individuals to:
- Keep digital records
- Submit updates quarterly
- Complete a final annual declaration
This replaces the traditional once-a-year tax return approach.
MTD will apply to:
- Self-employed individuals
- Landlords
Based on income thresholds:
- From April 2026 → income over £50,000
- From April 2027 → income over £30,000
- From April 2028 → income over £20,000
What this means in practice
Instead of one annual submission, you will need to:
- Maintain digital records
- Submit quarterly updates
- Finalise your position at year end
This increases compliance requirements — but also improves visibility of your tax position throughout the year.
We support you by:
- Setting up compliant software
- Managing your submissions
- Ensuring accuracy and compliance
- Providing ongoing advice throughout the year
We make the transition smooth and manageable.
