This service helps you pull together all additional income sources, calculate the right tax position, and file an accurate return with confidence. ## What this service covers You get practical support to report additional income correctly and avoid missed deadlines, overlooked allowances, or avoidable tax bills. Support can include: - Reviewing all income sources that need declaring - Working out what counts as taxable income and when it should be reported - Calculating your tax and National Insurance position - Identifying allowable expenses and reliefs you can legitimately claim - Completing and submitting your Self Assessment return to HMRC - Checking payments on account and helping you plan for what is due - Answering questions in plain English so you understand the numbers ### This is most useful if you have more than one income stream This service is designed for people who are organised but time-poor, and want reassurance that everything is declared correctly. It is a good fit if you receive income alongside employment or your main business, for example from: - Freelance or contracting work - Rental income or property-related receipts - Dividends or director income alongside PAYE - Commission, referral fees, or online platform income - Interest, gains, or other taxable one-off amounts ### How the process works First, you will get a clear list of what we need and by when. We then review your figures, highlight any gaps or risks, and confirm the approach before submission. You will see draft calculations before anything is filed, so you know what you are paying and why. Once approved, the return is submitted and you receive confirmation plus a clear summary of the amounts and deadlines. ### What happens after your return is filed You will get a simple payment schedule and guidance on what to set aside going forward. If your additional income is likely to continue, we can suggest ways to keep records clean through the year so next time is faster and more predictable.

It is any taxable income not fully dealt with through PAYE, or income that means you need to file a return. Common examples include freelancing, rental income, dividends, or significant interest. Do I need to register for Self Assessment if I have a side income? Often, yes, but it depends on the type of income and the amounts involved. We can confirm whether you need to register and help you do it correctly to avoid delays. What records do I need to provide? Typically you will need income summaries and evidence of expenses, plus relevant documents like P60s, P11Ds, dividend vouchers, or rental statements. We will give you a checklist tailored to your income sources. Can you help me claim the right expenses and reliefs? Yes. We will review what is allowable for your situation and make sure claims are properly supported and consistent with HMRC rules. If something is uncertain, we will explain the risk and options. What if I am late or have missed a previous return? You should act quickly, as penalties and interest can apply. We can help you get up to date, submit outstanding returns, and agree a practical plan to deal with what is owed.
