πŸ“’ Have your say on proposed changes to Income Tax Self Assessment

The Government is currently consulting on proposals that could change how and when Self Assessment tax is paid.

The consultation includes potential changes such as:

βœ”οΈ More frequent tax payments throughout the year
βœ”οΈ Changes to Payments on Account
βœ”οΈ Some taxpayers with PAYE income paying more of their forecast Self Assessment tax through PAYE from April 2029

If you're self-employed, a landlord, or complete a Self Assessment tax return, these proposals could affect you in the future.

This is your opportunity to share your views before any decisions are made.
