Self-Assessment

Right First Time

If you’re required by law to submit a Self-Assessment tax return there are a number of deadlines to adhere to. We make sure you hit them - on time, every time. A constant review of your business by our accountants and tax specialists gives us an early sight of any tax planning opportunities. So we get everything right first time. Also, our fixed fee structure means that our services are best value every time.

Removing the Fear Factor

A taxpayer will normally be required to file their tax return by 31 January following the end of the fiscal year. For many business owners, this is the time they dread most. Working with Bryden Johnson, you can relax, confident in the knowledge that our specialists will complete all the documentation for you and give you a schedule of payment dates.

We Know the Form

Despite attempts to simplify the process over the years, the annual self-assessment return is not a straightforward document for the non accountant to complete. And some of the technical definitions and convoluted calculations required can be intimidating. At Bryden Johnson, we take the burden away from you. So you can run your business.

The Tax Return

Under the Self-Assessment rules, business owners are responsible for ensuring that their tax liability is calculated and any tax owing is paid on time. If a completed return is not sent to the Revenue and Customs on time, an automatic penalty of £100 could be imposed and possible surcharges. Furthermore a late tax return increases the risk of a Revenue and Customs enquiry.

Tax Savings

Our experienced tax advisers will advise you on legitimate ways to save tax and calculate your tax bill for you – so there are no hidden surprises.

What We Do For You

We handle the prompt completion of your Self-Assessment tax returns and provide a Personal Tax service. We liaise with the Revenue and Customs on your behalf and deal with all related correspondence and queries. All of our clients have a high level of trust in our people to deliver a class-leading level of service. We guarantee to manage your affairs with transparency and integrity.

All We Need from You

The basic information we need comprises your total turnover and the cost in terms of allowable expenses to create that turnover. Not everything your business spends will be accepted as an allowable expense. Corporate hospitality, for example, is excluded. The rules can be complex as what is allowable for one business sector is not allowable for another. We can advise you on all of these subtleties.
