We Submitted Over 400 Tax Returns in January!
/in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, Accountancy, Accountants, Battersea, Deadline, Dulwich, HMRC, penalties, Self-assessment, Tax advice, Tax returns, Tulse Hill/by MarkTaxfile prepared and submitted more than 400 Self-Assessment tax returns for clients during January. That’s about a hundred a week and goes to show just how busy it gets for us during January, the busiest month in our accounting calendar.
Did you submit your tax return on time?
The deadline for submission of your tax return (and payment of any tax due) was 31st January at midnight. Did you manage to submit yours in time? If not, you’re already into the ‘penalty’ period where HMRC basically fine you for being late. The penalty comes in the form of an initial £100 fine but that increases, potentially very significantly, as you get later and later with your tax return submission. If you look at the table below, it’s safe to say that you can end up owing a thousand pounds or more if you bury your head in the sand and are 3 months late, or more. If you continue to leave your tax payment and tax return submission outstanding for six months or more, the penalty is £1300 as a minimum – perhaps more (it depends upon how much tax you owe).
Is your tax return & tax payment late? Taxfile can help!
If you are late submitting your tax return or paying tax and don’t know how to straighten things out, don’t
Your Tax Return – All Wrapped Up for Christmas!
/in 2018, 2019, 2020, Accountancy, Accountants, Income tax, London, Save money, Self-assessment, South London, Tax refunds, Tax return, Tax returns, Tulse Hill/by MarkUrgent: rather than waiting until January, start sorting out your Self-Assessment Tax Return out right now.
Why now? Well, because every tax expert and accountant in the land is about to hit their busiest month in the accounting year — January. For tax professionals, January is a frantic time because everyone wants their tax matters sorted out at the same time due to HMRC’s deadlines. So, we have to take on extra staff, extend our opening hours and open at weekends — just to keep up with the demand. All of this costs extra money, so we have to increase charges a little during January to cater for the enormous increase in workload. January also becomes quite a bottleneck. In January alone, we are likely to have to prepare and submit around 500 Self-Assessment tax returns for our customers and that’s a very tall order.
So — act now & save money on your tax return
You can avoid extra charges by coming in to see us for your tax return now — well before January. It makes sense to come in early in November or December if you can. That way, we can have your tax affairs sorted in time for Christmas, avoiding the bottleneck. You can then relax in the knowledge that your tax matters have been sorted, ahead of the rush, at the best possible price.
Saturday opening
We’re open Saturday mornings at Tulse Hill from 9am until 1pm for a limited time. So, make the most of this opportunity and book a weekend appointment now, while it costs nothing extra.
Get a tax refund for Christmas!
We can help prepare and submit your Self-Assessment tax return and let you know the all-important amount of tax you need to pay or, indeed, may even be owed by HMRC. If you’ve overpaid tax, we could even get your refund for you in time for Christmas — what a
