Should I Use an Accountant to File My Tax Returns?

If you're asking "Should I use an accountant for tax returns?" the answer is a resounding yes!

You may have just started up a new business, or you might be earning a freelance income. Either way, hiring an accountant to complete your Self Assessment can be an excellent idea.

It's quick, efficient and you could even end up saving more money than you spend on the service in the first place.

Our Tax Return Services in Hampshire & Surrey

Whether you need tax return services in Hampshire or tax return services in Surrey, we're here to help. You can find out all about the service we provide for your Self Assessment on our website, and we can get started instantly so you can file your tax return this January.

But why should you hire a professional accountant in the first place? There are many good reasons:

• Tax legislation is constantly changing. It's our job to keep up to date with all of the latest changes so you do not have to worry about a thing.
• You will avoid penalties for late results or for submitting the wrong information.
• You may not understand where you can make savings. We love finding ways for you to save money, and sometimes you can save more in taxes than you spend on the service.
• If you are self-employed, doing your tax return can be a headache, and you may simply not have the time.

What We Will Do for You

You may find some cheap online services when you start looking for a tax return accountant. If so, be careful with these. They are often little more than data-entry services where you provide the details and they fill in your tax return for you.

Also remember that just because someone claims to be a tax expert, can they back it up with certifications and experience?

We differ from these services because we are professional certified accountants, and we will do more than just fill in the gaps on your Self Assessment.

We will also provide an initial consultation where we will review your requirements. Even for a service that you may consider fairly straightforward, we always make an effort to provide a personal service – your requirements are always unique, after all.

We will also be there for you if you are chosen by HM Revenue & Customs for a Self Assessment enquiry. If you are selected, we will act for you at any meetings and deal directly with HMRC for you.

What if I Choose to File My Own Tax Return?

You may prefer to file your tax return yourself, and that's fine. It's your choice what you want to do. If so, a good starting point is the official page on Gov.uk. However, if you find the process too confusing, we'll be happy to help.

We Do More Than Tax Returns

When you hire us to complete your tax return, remember that we offer a lot of other services to self-employed individuals.

Many of our clients come to us initially for a small job like a Self Assessment, and they are so impressed by the quality of our service that they realise they have a trusted accountant to help them in any number of things.

If you are starting a business or simply working freelance, there are almost certainly going to be times when you want the services of an accountant you can trust. With us, you know we will be there for you over the years, no matter what you need.
