Overview

Personal tax compliance with the detail organised and explained

A Self Assessment return may bring together employment, self-employment, property, dividends, investments, capital gains and overseas information. The quality of the return depends on complete records and careful review of how each source is reported.

CBM Accounting provides an organised process that starts before the filing deadline. We identify the information required, prepare the calculation, explain payments on account and highlight matters that may affect future tax planning.

Frequently asked questions

Questions clients often ask

Every situation is different. These answers provide a practical starting point, and we confirm the position after reviewing the facts.

Ask our team a question
Who normally needs to complete a Self Assessment return?

Common examples include sole traders, landlords, company directors with untaxed income, partners, people with capital gains and individuals with overseas or other income not fully dealt with through PAYE. We can assess your specific position.

Can you prepare my return if my records are incomplete?

We can help organise the available information and identify gaps. Estimates or provisional figures are only used where permitted and appropriate, and the basis must be documented.

What are payments on account?

They are advance payments towards a future Self Assessment liability and can arise based on the current tax calculation. We explain the amounts, due dates and whether a reduction claim may be appropriate.

Can you deal with late or outstanding tax returns?

Yes. We first establish which returns are outstanding, gather records and prioritise the filings. We also explain likely interest, penalties and any communication needed with HMRC.

Do you provide personal tax planning?

Yes. Planning can cover timing of income, dividends, pension contributions, business structure and disposals, but recommendations depend on your complete personal and commercial circumstances.
