📊 Tip #2: Don’t guesstimate!

Missing or incorrect figures can cause headaches (and HMRC isn’t likely to be impressed )

✅ Double-check your income, expenses, and allowances.

📂 Tip #1: Gather your paperwork early

P60s, P45s, invoices, bank statements… the works.

The earlier you collect, the easier the filing.
💡 Think of it as financial spring cleaning — without the dust!

🗓️ New to Self Assessment? Don’t miss this date!

If you’ve never registered for Self Assessment (ITSA) before, you must tell HMRC by 5 October 2025 if you need to complete a tax return for the 2024/25 tax year

👉 Why it matters:
Miss the deadline? HMRC may charge a penalty.
Registering correctly makes sure you’re set up for tax and (if self-employed) your National Insurance credits too

✨ How to register:
Online via HMRC’s website ---> https://www.gov.uk/check-if-you-need-tax-return
By posting form SA1 (if not self-employed)
Or, if you’re self-employed, by setting up a business tax account or using form CWF1

✅ Tip: HMRC has a handy online tool to check if you even need to complete a return — worth a quick look!

Don’t leave it late — get set up early and avoid unnecessary stress
