About

taxhelp.uk.com specialise in helping self employed people pay less tax and avoid fines. We are dedicated to helping clients understand their accounts and to making the whole process as simple and easy as possible.

We start with an initial meeting (in person, or over the phone) to establish your requirements, and to discuss how best to assist you in meeting compliance targets and minimising tax liabilities. We find that spending a little time at this initial stage makes the process as straightforward and easy to understand as possible.

This is followed by a close association during the preparation of your accounts and return to make sure that we’re claiming all the possible allowances you’re entitled to, and that you fully understand all the details when they’re finalised.

After the return has been submitted, we deal with its agreement with HMRC and, subsequently, with any queries that you may have over the following months in preparation for the next year’s submission.

Award Winning Software

We use Digita Taxability Pro software, from Thomson Reuters…

Digita Personal Tax was the winner of the prestigious Taxation Best Tax Software Award in 2003, 2006 and 2007. Is accredited by the ICAEW, and dominated the rankings in the January 2007 ICAEW Software User Survey, coming first or second in every category with zero critical errors and the ‘best technical support in the industry’.

In July 2009 Digita personal tax software was also adopted by one of the ‘Big 4′ accountancy firms in the UK.

We always file online, where possible, as this speeds up repayments, as well as minimising any errors that can occur when returns are manually entered on HMRC’s systems.

HMRC has today published the fact that they are about to issue late return penalties to 850,000 people over the next fortnight. This is down from 1.4 million last year, so you may think this is good news. However… last year it was possible to have a fine cancelled where there was no tax due, u

We go out of our way to help people meet the tax deadlines.

HMRC have just announced a two day extension to the 31st January 2012 tax return submission and tax payment deadlines. Whilst you may think that this is good news, it raises the important question as to how people are planning for 2012 when they don’t have their accounts for 2010/11 finalised

There are some people who may have been ignoring tax for some time, not too concerned as perhaps friends and the ‘pub experts’ may have misinformed them. However in 2012 we are seeing four areas developing that will combine for some people to create the ‘Perfect Storm’, desc

Happy New Year! Following from my review of 2011, below are my top three predictions for 2012: 1) The further growth of the self employed. Many of the newspaper headlines concentrate on the ‘loss’ of jobs, however fail to recognise the increase in the number of self employed people tha

This time of year is a good one for planning for the future, as I blogged about recently. However, it’s also important to recognise your successes from the past year as well. For myself there were three big successes in 2011: 1) Continuing the growth of taxhelp.uk.com – we continued to
