Who needs a self-employed tax return in Grays?
If you trade for yourself in Grays 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 drivers, logistics contractors and tradespeople.

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.
