Below that, the trading allowance can normally cover it without a return. Media freelancers, contractors and small business owners are among the people we most often help here.

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 Eccles, Swinton, Walkden, Pendleton, Irlam, Broughton and the wider Salford area for the same fixed fee from £199 + VAT.
Salford is about 2 miles east of Manchester, but location is not a barrier. We work entirely online and by phone, so a self-employed tax return for a Salford client is handled exactly as it would be anywhere else in the UK.
