Comprehensive personal tax compliance services, from straightforward Self-Assessment tax returns to more complex tax affairs.
Individuals who meet the criteria for Self-Assessment in the UK are responsible for calculating their own tax liability and submitting an annual tax return to HMRC. As a Self-Assessment taxpayer in the UK, your obligations include:
There may be additional tax compliance obligations for individuals with more complex tax affairs, such as those who earn income from multiple sources or have overseas assets.
It is essential to ensure you are fully compliant with your personal tax obligations, and that your Self-Assessment tax return is accurate and submitted on time.
HMRC may investigate an individual’s tax returns for a variety of reasons, including suspicion of tax evasion or fraud, errors in the tax return, or information received from third parties. Furthermore, it can often be completely random with no suspicion of errors or wrongdoing.
Depending on the severity of any issues or errors identified in a Self-Assessment tax return, HMRC may issue a variety of penalties. These penalties can include lump sums, a percentage of the tax owed (plus interest) and, in more severe cases, potential criminal prosecution.
This is why it is important to consult with a qualified personal tax compliance specialist if you are in any way uncertain about your Self-Assessment tax return.
