Who needs to complete a Self Assessment tax return?
A Self Assessment tax return must be filed by anyone whose income isn’t fully taxed at source, including:
- The self-employed (sole traders and freelancers)
- Company directors and partners in business partnerships
- Landlords with property income
- Individuals with multiple income streams or investment income
- Individuals taxed under PAYE but earning income from additional sources
Note: From April 2026, a significant change in the way income tax data is submitted to HMRC begins, with the introduction of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. The scheme is phased in between April 2026 and April 2028. The date that you will be required to change your income tax reporting will depend on your total yearly income from self-employment and/or property rentals. Find out more about Making Tax Digital for Income Tax here.
Our experienced tax experts can help you transition from the old Self Assessment system to Making Tax Digital. Our tax advisors will ensure that your income tax data is submitted correctly and that you take advantage of every available allowance and deduction.

FAQs
You’ll need to complete a tax return if any of the following apply to your personal or business circumstances:
- You’re a director of a limited company and receive income that isn’t taxed at source, such as dividends.
- You’re self-employed as a sole trader and your income exceeds £1,000 before tax reliefs or deductions.
- You’re a partner in a business partnership.
- Your total taxable income is over £150,000.
- You’re liable for the High Income Child Benefit Charge.
- You’re a higher-rate or additional-rate taxpayer contributing to a personal pension.
- You earn additional untaxed income above HMRC’s thresholds — for example, from dividends, savings interest, or investments.
- You receive rental income from one or more properties.
- You wish to claim specific tax reliefs or allowances.
- You’ve sold or disposed of assets such as second properties, shares, cryptoassets, or other investments outside an ISA, resulting in capital gains.
In some cases, other factors may mean you’re required to file a Self Assessment Tax Return, even if you’re taxed through PAYE.
Because tax rules can be complex and personal circumstances vary, it’s always wise to consult a qualified tax expert or review the latest guidance on the HMRC website to confirm whether you need to complete a return.
Submitting your Self Assessment Tax Return early has several advantages:
- Receive tax refunds sooner.
- More time to plan and budget for tax payments.
- Avoid last-minute stress and late filing penalties.
Our approach means we’ll help you get your tax affairs in order well before the deadline, giving you confidence and control over your finances.
It is possible to file your own Self Assessment Tax Return, but the process can be challenging depending on your personal circumstances. The level of difficulty often depends on the complexity of your financial affairs, the quality of your records, your comfort with numbers, and your understanding of UK tax regulations.
Preparing your own tax return means you’ll need to be familiar with the relevant tax rules and reporting requirements. This includes knowing the latest tax rules, identifying which income sources must be declared, knowing which expenses and allowances you’re entitled to claim, and ensuring your tax liability is calculated accurately.
For individuals with straightforward income, completing a Self Assessment independently might be manageable. However, for those with multiple income streams, property earnings, or investment portfolios, the process can quickly become complex. In such cases, seeking guidance from a qualified tax advisor can help you avoid mistakes, maximise available reliefs, and ensure your return is submitted correctly and on time.
