More information
What Self-Employed Deadline Support covers
You will get a practical deadline plan tailored to how you work, so you know what is due and what to do next.
- Clear explanation of key Self Assessment dates (paper vs online)
- A simple schedule for record gathering, checks, and sign-off
- A list of documents and figures to prepare (income, expenses, mileage, home office, etc.)
- Guidance on payment timing, including budgeting for tax and Payments on Account where relevant
- A light-touch reminder and accountability approach, so deadlines do not creep up
- Clarification on common triggers, such as when you need to register for Self Assessment
Who this is for
This support is designed for sole traders, freelancers, and contractors who want certainty around deadlines without having to keep HMRC rules in their head. It is especially useful if your income varies, you have multiple clients, or your admin tends to slip when work is busy.
How the support works
We start by confirming your position, how you get paid, and what records you already keep. You then receive a step-by-step timeline built around the relevant filing route, with clear actions for each stage so you can collect information early, spot gaps, and avoid avoidable delays.
What you will have at the end
You will finish with a straightforward plan you can follow each year, plus a checklist that makes it easier to stay organised. You will also know what “good records” look like, so you spend less time chasing information and more time running the business.
After delivery
If you want to reduce admin further, the same structure can be used to support ongoing bookkeeping and a smoother year-end process, so Self Assessment becomes routine rather than stressful.
