Taxation
Personal Tax Services
In addition to strategising the method of extracting funds from your company, we also offer personal tax return preparation services. For business owners receiving both salary and dividend income, our fee for submitting a tax return is £20 + VAT per month.
How can we help you?
We can assist you in navigating aspects related to income tax, inheritance tax, capital gains, and trusts. Their services involve preparing your tax returns and submitting them to HMRC. A reliable personal tax accountant will also talk to you about your tax responsibilities, helping you take advantage of any available claims.
How do I find a good tax accountant?
Absolutely! Seriously though, find an accountant who keeps things legal, straightforward, and punctual. We’ll handle all the details and aim to minimize your tax bill without bending any rules. Never.
A reliable tax accountant will save you time, lower the chance of errors (we’ve been studying this stuff for ages, so we know the tax game inside out), and assure you that by submitting all the necessary taxes, you’re on good terms with HMRC.
Do you need an accountant to do your tax return?
If you want to handle your personal taxes on your own, that’s totally okay. We know DIY can work out well, like when the shelf stays up, or things can go awry, and the shelf ends up falling on grandma’s head.
There’s software online for tax returns, but doing your own personal taxes can get tricky and overwhelming. If you’d rather be cautious, we, as your personal tax accountants, will use our current knowledge and expertise to handle your personal taxes for you.
How do I set up a personal tax account?
You can create your personal tax account on the HMRC website. Before you start, make sure you have your National Insurance number, passport, or a recent P60 ready. Just visit this link: https://www.gov.uk/personal-tax-account
When is personal tax due
Your personal tax deadline is midnight on 31st January the year after your tax year ends. For example, for the tax year ending 5th April 2024, it will need to be submitted before 31st January 2025.
How long do I have to keep personal tax records for?
Coming straight from the horse’s mouth, HMRC says that “you must keep your records for at least 5 years after the 31st January submission deadline of the relevant tax year. HM Revenue and Customs may check your records to make sure you’re paying the right amount of tax.”
What is a personal tax summary?
While a personal tax summary might not be something to frame, it’s quite useful to have. HMRC provides these summaries to confirm the amount of income tax and National Insurance you paid in a tax year. Additionally, the summary outlines how the government allocated your tax funds.
It’s worth noting that your personal tax summary doesn’t cover details like VAT, stamp duty, fuel, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, or other allowances. Sometimes, the information on your tax summary may differ, but it’s meant for informational purposes. HMRC understands that your circumstances change, and not all sources of income are included. You don’t need to reach out to HMRC or your employer upon receiving your personal tax summary. However, if you have any uncertainties, feel free to give us a call.
What is a personal tax allowance?
This is the money you can earn without paying taxes on it. For instance, in the 2022-2023 tax year, the personal tax allowance is £12,570. This means you won’t be taxed on income up to that amount. Any earnings beyond £12,570 will be taxable.
In some cases, you might qualify for a larger personal allowance, increasing the untaxed portion of your income. Examples include allowances like Blind Person’s Allowance or Marriage Allowance.
Am I eligible for a personal tax allowance?
To take advantage of juicy tax-free income in the UK, you must either:
- hold a British passport
- be a citizen of a European Economic Area (EEA) country
- have worked for the UK government at any time during that tax year
