Every year, the dreaded annual Self Assessment comes around. When you’re busy working as a sole trader or freelancer, taking time out to complete your Self Assessment Tax Return can become an issue. That’s where we come in. Our team can take care of your Self Assessment tax return and give you up-to-date advice and guidance. 

Did you know that as of January 2024, if you earn over £1000 additional income from a ‘side hustle’ like selling old clothes, or content creation, you will need to file a Self Assessment?
