Who needs a self-employed tax return in Leicester?
If you trade for yourself in Leicester and gross more than £1,000 in a tax year, HMRC expects a Self Assessment return. Under that figure the £1,000 trading allowance usually means no return is needed. Locally we most often act for small business owners, drivers and independent traders.

Expenses must be wholly and exclusively for the business. Common claims are stock, equipment, professional fees, insurance and a fair share of home-working costs. Good records matter because HMRC can ask for them for up to five years after filing.

Questions, answered.
Allowable expenses are costs incurred wholly and exclusively for the business: materials and stock, tools and equipment, insurance, software, phone and internet (business share), professional fees and vehicle costs. Larger equipment may qualify for capital allowances, and the £1,000 trading allowance is an alternative if it beats your real costs.
Yes. Everything is done online, so we act for clients in Evington, Aylestone, Oadby, Highfields, Braunstone, Belgrave and the wider Leicester area for the same fixed fee from £199 + VAT.
Leicester is about 9 miles north of Loughborough, and being far away is no problem. We work entirely online and by phone, so a self-employed tax return for a Leicester client is handled exactly as it would be anywhere else in the UK.
