Personal tax

Your Self Assessment, done by November, not the 31st of January.

Directors, sole traders, landlords and anyone with untaxed income files a return by 31 January. We prepare it early, tell you the payment months in advance, and plan the next year while there is still time to change it.

01What is included

The whole job, not the visible half.

Everything below is in scope on the plan that includes personal tax & self assessment. Nothing on this list is an add-on.

  • SA100 with the supplementary pages you need: employment, self-employment, property, foreign, capital gains
  • Dividend, savings and rental income computed with every allowance applied
  • Payments on account calculated and reduced where the coming year justifies it
  • Capital gains on property, shares and crypto, including the 60-day property reporting
  • Non-resident and split-year treatment for people moving between the UK, UAE and US
  • HMRC registration, agent authorisation and correspondence handled
02Who it is for

Three situations we see every week.

01

Company directors taking dividends

Dividend income above the £500 allowance is taxed at 8.75, 33.75 or 39.35 percent depending on band. It must be declared even when tax was deducted elsewhere.

02

Landlords, including those abroad

Mortgage interest relief is now a 20 percent credit, not a deduction. Non-resident landlords file whether or not tax was withheld.

03

People leaving or arriving in the UK

Residence, split-year treatment and double-tax relief decide whether you are taxed once or twice. This is where most self-prepared returns go wrong.

03How it works

Four steps, then a rhythm.

Step 1

Information request

In April we send a one-page list of what we need. Most of it we already hold if we keep your company's books.

Step 2

Draft by summer

The return is prepared and the liability confirmed months ahead, so the January payment is planned, not discovered.

Step 3

Planning

Pension contributions, gift aid, timing of dividends and capital disposals are reviewed for the current year while they can still be changed.

Step 4

File and remind

Filed online, with reminders for the 31 January and 31 July payment dates.

04By market

The rules differ. So does the work.

The same service, applied to each jurisdiction's law. Figures checked September 2026.

UK

Personal allowance £12,570, basic rate 20 percent to £50,270, higher rate 40 percent to £125,140, additional rate 45 percent above. Dividend allowance £500. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies from April 2026 to sole traders and landlords with qualifying income above £50,000, requiring quarterly updates.

06Questions
Do I need to file if I am a director?

If you have untaxed income such as dividends, or HMRC has issued a notice to file, yes. Directors with PAYE-only income and no notice do not automatically need to.

What is a payment on account?

An advance payment towards next year's bill, set at half of this year's liability, due 31 January and 31 July. We reduce it where next year's income will be lower.

I live in Dubai but own a UK property. Do I still file?

Yes. Non-resident landlords file a UK return on the rental income. The UAE has no personal income tax, so there is no double taxation, but the UK return is still required.

Can you handle crypto?

Yes. Disposals, swaps and staking rewards are all taxable events in the UK. We reconcile exchange exports and compute pooled costs.
