Please note that the registration process can be complex and may vary based on your sources of income and personal circumstances. If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact us.

Trading allowance is a tax exemption available in the UK that allows individuals to earn up to £1,000 per tax year from self-employment without reporting this income to HMRC. You don’t have to declare your income or pay tax if your income is less than the allowance. However, if your income exceeds £1,000, you can deduct the allowance from your income instead of actual expenses when calculating taxable profit.

A U.T.R (Unique Taxpayer Reference) number is a 10-digit code HMRC assigns in the UK. It’s used to identify individuals, companies, and other entities within the tax system, ensuring their tax records and payments are correctly processed. Individuals receive a UTR when registering for Self-assessment or setting up a partnership business or a limited company. It’s essential for filing tax returns and managing your affairs with HMRC.

In the United Kingdom, taxpayers are required to submit their Self Assessment tax return and pay any tax owed by 31 January of the year following the tax year. The tax runs from 6 April to 5 April of the following year. Therefore, for the tax year ending on 5 April, you must submit your tax return and pay any tax due by 31 January next year. For example, if the tax year runs from 6 April 2023 to 5 April 2024, you must submit your Self Assessment tax return and pay any owed tax by 31 January 2025.

If you choose to file a paper tax return instead of filing online, the deadline is earlier, on 31 October following the end of the tax year. Using the same example, the deadline for a paper return for the 2023-2024 tax year would be 31 October 2024.

If you don’t file your tax return on time, you will be charged an initial penalty of £100. To avoid further penalties, you must file your tax return within 30 days of receiving the penalty letter or, at the latest, within three months. If you owe any tax, you will also receive a late payment penalty of £100 and must pay interest on the outstanding tax amount.

Our HMRC Penalty and Appeals service can help you file your tax return within 30 days and cancel penalties by filing an appeal on your behalf to HMRC.

If you find any mistakes in your tax return after submitting it, you can amend it. The changes you make will adjust your tax bill accordingly. You may owe more tax or become eligible for a refund, depending on the adjustments.

To rectify any errors, you can revise your tax return online within 12 months of the self-assessment deadline or by submitting another paper return. If you miss this deadline, you must post the amended tax return to HMRC.

If you earn untaxed income from self-employment or other sources, filing a Self Assessment Tax Return is mandatory even if you have incurred losses. The good news is that these losses can either be offset against the total income of the current tax year or carried forward and offset against future profits of the same business, which can decrease your tax bills in the future. However, to carry forward losses, you must file a tax return.
