Get started with the right accounting solution for your business
Self Assessment is the system HMRC uses to collect Income Tax from individuals and businesses with income not automatically taxed.
If you’re self-employed, a landlord, a company director, or earn additional income from savings, investments, or dividends, you’ll likely need to complete a Self Assessment Tax Return.
The deadline to file your return and pay any tax owed is 31 January each year. Missing this deadline can lead to automatic penalties and interest charges — even if you owe nothing.
By staying organised and submitting your return early, you’ll avoid last-minute stress and gain extra time to plan for your tax payment.
Find out what a Self Assessment Tax Return is and why it matters for your finances.
Self Assessment can be complex – and getting it wrong can be costly. Unless your tax affairs are extremely simple, it’s almost always worth seeking expert advice. Here’s how we help:

Who needs to complete a Self Assessment Tax Return?
Anyone with income not taxed at source must usually file — including sole traders, landlords, company directors, and those with dividends, capital gains, or overseas income.
When is the Self Assessment deadline?
The online filing deadline is 31 January following the end of the tax year. For example, the 2023/24 tax return must be submitted by 31 January 2025.
What happens if I miss the deadline?
HMRC charges a £100 late filing penalty right away, plus additional fines and interest the longer you delay.
Can I do my Self Assessment myself?
Yes, but unless your tax situation is simple, using a qualified accountant helps you avoid errors, claim more reliefs, and reduce the risk of HMRC investigations.
What information do I need to file my tax return?
You’ll need your UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference), National Insurance number, income records, expense details, and any capital gains or dividend statements.
Can an accountant help me pay less tax?
Often, yes. We regularly identify unclaimed expenses or reliefs that reduce your tax bill – especially for new clients.
Do I need to register for Self Assessment?
If you’ve never filed before, you must register with HMRC by 5 October following the end of the tax year in which you earned untaxed income.
What income types need to be reported?
Report all untaxed income, including freelance work, rental income, dividends, interest, and any capital gains.
Can I claim business expenses on my tax return?
Yes – allowable expenses include travel, office costs, subscriptions, and home-working expenses, if you’re eligible.
Why is 31st January such an important date for Self Assessment?
31st January is the deadline to both file your Self Assessment tax return and pay any tax you owe for the previous tax year. Missing this deadline can result in automatic penalties from HMRC, plus interest on late payments. January 31st is one of the most critical dates in the tax calendar for self-employed individuals and company directors.
