Common questions

When is the self assessment deadline?

Online returns are due by 31 January after the end of the tax year, which is also when any tax owed must be paid. If you are new to self assessment, you need to register by 5 October.

Do I need to file a tax return?

You usually do if you are self-employed, have rental income, receive untaxed income or dividends over the allowances, or are a company director paid by dividends. We can check for you.

What are payments on account?

They are advance payments towards next year’s tax, due on 31 January and 31 July. If your income has dropped, we can apply to reduce them.
