Local guide
Self-employed tax return in Bath: what you need to know
This is how the self-employed tax return works for sole traders, freelancers and gig workers in Bath. See also our Bath tax return page covering every service.
Who needs a self-employed tax return in Bath?
If you trade for yourself in Bath 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 sole traders, landlords and company directors.
The local picture in Bath
Bath’s World Heritage status brings a steady flow of visitors that supports hotels, restaurants, guides and independent shops, while the University of Bath and Bath Spa University add tutors, researchers and student services. High demand from students and visitors makes Bath a strong rental market, with many landlords letting houses of multiple occupation, student flats or holiday lets that have their own tax rules.
Expenses and records for Bath 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 Keynsham, Bradford-on-Avon, Midsomer Norton, Radstock, Saltford, Peasedown St John and the wider Bath area for the same fixed fee from £199 + VAT.
