This service prepares and files your Self Assessment accurately, pulling together salary, dividends and any other income so you can stay compliant and understand what you owe, by when. ## What this service covers Your return is prepared with director-specific income and reliefs in mind, then filed with HMRC with clear next steps. - Review of income sources: salary, dividends, benefits, interest, rental income and other taxable income - Checks for common director tax areas: pension contributions, Gift Aid, expenses and allowances - Capital gains reporting where relevant (for example, shares, cryptoassets or property) - Student loan, Child Benefit tax charge and payments on account considerations - Calculation of tax due and key payment dates - Submission to HMRC and confirmation that your return has been filed ### Who this is for This is a good fit if you are an owner-manager and: - Take a mix of salary and dividends - Have other personal income alongside your director role - Need confidence your return is consistent with your company records - Want a clear, plain-English summary rather than just a tax computation ### How it works 1. **Information request and checklist**: you receive a clear list of what to provide (for example P60/P11D, dividend records, pension and bank interest figures). 2. **Preparation and checks**: your return is drafted and reviewed for accuracy and completeness. 3. **Review and approval**: you see the numbers, ask questions, and approve before submission. 4. **Filing and payment plan**: the return is submitted and you receive the tax due plus the relevant HMRC payment deadlines. ### What happens after filing You get a straightforward summary of what was submitted and what to pay. If your tax position suggests planning opportunities for the year ahead (for example, dividend timing or pension contributions), these can be flagged so there are fewer surprises next January.

Many directors do, especially if they receive dividends or have other untaxed income. If you are unsure, we can review your position and confirm whether a return is required. What information will you need from me? Typically you will need your employment figures (P60 and any P11D), dividend details, bank interest and pension contributions. If you have rental income or capital gains, we will request the relevant statements and dates. Can you include dividends and director salary correctly? Yes. We ensure the right figures are reported in the right sections and sense-check them against the records you provide. This helps avoid common errors that trigger HMRC queries. What are the key Self Assessment deadlines? Online returns are normally due by 31 January following the end of the tax year, and tax is usually payable by the same date. Depending on your bill, payments on account may also be due on 31 January and 31 July. Can you help if HMRC contact me or if I need to amend a return? Yes. We can respond to routine HMRC queries about the figures filed and support you with amendments if something changes. The best approach is to act quickly so interest and penalties are minimised.
