Do I need to complete a Self Assessment Tax Return?

A wide range of individuals in varying circumstances need to complete a Self Assesment Tax Return. Normally HMRC will inform you if you need to complete one. However they can’t inform you if you have not completed the appropriate forms nessecary to make them aware of your circumstances.

Generally speaking an individual or partnership will need to complete a Self Assesment Tax return if income is received that does not have tax deducted at source or if they are a director of a Company.

However even if all your income is taxed at source, you may still be required to complete a Tax Return. You should contact an accountant if you are unsure.
