Step 1: Initial Consultation & Registration
We confirm if you are required to file a tax return.
If it’s your first time, we help you register with HMRC and obtain your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR).
Step 2: Information Gathering
We provide you with a checklist of documents required (income, expenses, P60/P45, bank interest, dividend vouchers, rental details, etc.).
You simply share these with us via email or secure portal.
Step 3: Review & Tax Planning
Our team carefully reviews your documents.
We identify allowances and reliefs (such as Marriage Allowance, Pension Contributions, Gift Aid and any other relief that is relevant).
We also check if payments on account apply to avoid surprises.
Step 4: Draft Return & Client Approval
We prepare a draft of your Self-Assessment Tax Return.
You review and approve before we submit.
Any queries or adjustments are discussed with you in plain, simple language.
Step 5: HMRC Submission
Once approved, we submit the return online to HMRC.
We confirm the submission reference and provide you with a copy for your records.
Step 6: Payment Support & Ongoing Advice
We remind you of payment deadlines (31 January and 31 July for payments on account).
