Tax Refunds
If you work as a subcontractor you may be due a Tax Return. We don’t offer an online calculator as the amount due depends on many factors. In order to find out how much you can get or how much tax you need to pay we need to thoroughly examine your situation. Only then are we able to offer the most beneficial solutions. Call us to find out more. We can complete your Tax Return remotely (using traditional mail, telephone, or email) as well as seeing you at one of our branches.
Self-employed person’s obligations
Those working as self-employed as well as people employed in th CIS system both must complete a Self Assessment Tax Return, which they then need to send to the HM Revenue & Customs,and pay any tax that may be due.
Self Assessment deadlines
All Tax Returns for tax year 2013/14 need to be filed by the 31st of January 2015.
How long to keep your records
If you send your tax return on or before the 31 January you must keep your records for at least 5 years after the end of the tax year the tax return is for. Example: If you send your 2013 to 2014 tax return online by 31 January 2015, you must keep your records until at least the end of January 2020. If you send your tax return after the 31 January deadline, you must keep your business records for longer.
