Sole Trader Tax Return
As a Sole Trader your Self Assessment Tax Return is one of your most significant legal responsibilities. It calculates your taxable income and lets you know how much to pay to HMRC (or how much they owe you!). It's a complex process, but one that Duport Accountants can make incredibly easy.
What's a 'self assessment tax return'?
If you are self-employed, take dividends as a company director, or if you receive any other non-taxed income then you'll need to file a Self Assessment tax return.
HMRC send out notifications to people who need to file a Self Assessment tax return in April each year.
If you are a Sole Trader, part of the process of completing your Self Assessment is providing details of all sales and takings, purchases and business expenses in order to calculate your personal tax liability.
