📑 Whether you're a sole trader or a company director, ensuring your Self Assessment Tax is filed accurately and on time is crucial to avoid HMRC penalties. Let the experts at Protax Consultants Ltd handle the heavy lifting for you. Secure your stress-free HMRC filing today:

When tax season rolls around, many individuals and businesses find themselves overwhelmed by forms, deadlines, and confusing HMRC rules. Whether you're a sole trader, landlord, or limited company director, navigating the UK tax system isn’t always straightforward—and making a mistake could be costly.

That’s why working with a professional Tax Return Accountant, like the team at Stewart Accounting, can be a game-changer. Beyond just helping you submit your Self-Assessment on time, we provide expert guidance that could potentially reduce your tax bill, save you time, and give you peace of mind.

What Does a Tax Return Accountant Do?

A tax return accountant specialises in preparing and filing tax returns accurately and efficiently. They:

•              Collect and review your income and expenses

•              Calculate your tax liability (or refund!)

•              Identify deductions and allowances you may qualify for

•              Submit your return to HMRC on your behalf

•              Offer ongoing tax planning advice

At Stewart Accounting, we go a step further by providing tailored support based on your financial goals—whether personal or business-related.

Do You Need to File a Tax Return?

You may need to complete a Self-Assessment tax return if:

•              You’re self-employed

•              You earn over £1,000 from side income

•              You receive rental income

•              You’re a company director

•              You have foreign income

•              You earn over £100,000 annually

•              You have capital gains to report

•              HMRC has asked you to submit one

If any of these apply to you, working with a tax return accountant helps ensure everything is submitted correctly and on time.

Why Go Pro Instead of DIY?

Filing your tax return through HMRC’s online system may seem easy—but it rarely is for people with anything beyond basic income. Common DIY pitfalls include:

•              Missing deadlines and facing penalties

•              Entering incorrect income or expense figures

•              Forgetting to claim tax reliefs or allowances

•              Misclassifying income types

•              Filing under the wrong status (e.g., employed vs. self-employed)

Our accountants review your documents carefully and apply the right tax strategies, saving you both money and headaches.

Real-World Example

Let’s say you’re a self-employed graphic designer earning £40,000 per year. You might think your taxable income is just that—£40,000.

But with a tax return accountant’s help, you could deduct:

•              Business-related equipment and software

•              Travel costs

•              Phone and internet use

•              A portion of your home utility bills (if you work from home)

That could potentially reduce your tax bill by hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

Avoid Costly HMRC Penalties

Did you know?

•              Missing the 31 January deadline results in an automatic £100 fine

•              Further delays add £10 per day, up to £900

•              After 6 months, HMRC may charge an additional 5% of the unpaid tax

Working with Stewart Accounting means these deadlines are always met—stress-free.

What You Need to Get Started

To prepare your tax return, we typically ask for:

•              Your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR)

•              National Insurance number

•              Income details (P60, P45, invoices, rental income, dividends, etc.)

•              Business expenses and receipts

•              Details of any pension contributions, student loans, or charity donations

Don’t worry if you’re not sure what applies—we’ll guide you every step of the way.
