Quick answers
UK tax return questions, answered plainly.
What is a Self Assessment tax return?
A Self Assessment tax return is the form HMRC uses to work out the income tax and National Insurance you owe on income that is not taxed at source, such as self-employed profit, rental income or dividends. You file it online by 31 January after the end of the tax year, which runs from 6 April to 5 April.
How much does a tax return cost in the UK?
Cheap Tax Returns charges fixed fees: from £199 + VAT for self-employed people, landlords and non-resident landlords, £350 + VAT for limited company accounts and tax returns, and £100 + VAT for dormant companies. You see the fee in writing before any work starts.
Who has to file a Self Assessment tax return?
You generally need to file if you are self-employed and earned more than £1,000 in the tax year, receive rental income above the £1,000 property allowance, are a company director, have untaxed income or capital gains, or have income over £100,000. Our guide on whether you need to file has the full list.
What is the tax return deadline?
The online deadline for the 2025/26 tax year is 31 January 2027, which is also when your balancing payment and first payment on account are due. The paper deadline is 31 October 2026, and new taxpayers must register with HMRC by 5 October after the tax year in which they started.
What happens if I file my tax return late?
HMRC charges an automatic £100 penalty the day after the deadline, even if you owe nothing. Further daily penalties, percentage penalties and interest follow as the delay grows. File as soon as you can, and use our penalty calculator to see what you may owe.
Do I need an accountant to file my tax return?
No, you can file yourself, but a qualified accountant checks that you claim every allowable expense and relief, files on time and deals with HMRC queries. For a fixed fee from £199 + VAT many people find that costs less than the tax they would otherwise overpay.
