A self-assessment tax return is a system used by HMRC for collecting income tax from individuals who don’t have it automatically deducted from wages or pensions. You’ll need to complete a self-assessment if you’re:

Here’s what an accountant will do when preparing your Self-Assessment tax return:
The HMRC deadlines for self-assessment tax returns are 31 October for paper returns and 31 January for online submissions.
If you’re filing for the first time, you must register by 5 October. Hiring a self-assessment accountant in Kent means you’ll never miss these dates, they’ll keep you on track and avoid any last-minute panic or fines.
Don’t leave it until the last minute! Here are the key dates to remember:
Working with a self-assessment tax accountant in Kent means you’ll stay on top of these deadlines and avoid fines.
Missing HMRC’s Self-Assessment deadlines can lead to serious penalties, whether it’s filing your tax return late, paying your bill after 31 January, or failing to register in time. Knowing what to expect can help you avoid unnecessary stress and costs.
HMRC may issue penalties if:
If you miss the 5 October registration deadline and don’t pay your full tax bill by 31 January, HMRC can issue a ‘failure to notify’ penalty. This is based on the unpaid tax amount and will be sent within 12 months of HMRC receiving your return.
If you submit your tax return late, even by just one day, you’ll be charged:
If you’re in a partnership, all partners will be fined if the return is late.
If you don’t pay your Self-Assessment tax bill by 31 January, you could face:
In addition to these fines, HMRC will also charge interest on the outstanding amount, so the longer you delay, the more it will cost you.
