Self-employed tax return in Ely: what you need to know
This is how the self-employed tax return works for sole traders, freelancers and gig workers in Ely. See also our Ely tax return page covering every service.
Who needs a self-employed tax return in Ely?
You generally need a Self Assessment return in Ely if you are self-employed and your gross trading income is over £1,000 in a tax year. Below that, the trading allowance can normally cover it without a return. Hospitality owners, tradespeople and commuters are among the people we most often help here.
The local picture in Ely
Ely’s cathedral, riverside and market support many hospitality owners, tradespeople and Cambridge commuters. Ely’s cathedral setting and Cambridge rail links keep rents high, so landlords often have higher incomes.
Expenses and records for Ely sole 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 Witchford, Stretham, Littleport, Wilburton, Soham, Haddenham and the wider Ely area for the same fixed fee from £199 + VAT.
