Do You Need to Complete a Self Assessment Tax Return?

Before we show how we can help you, you first need to understand whether you are required to file a tax return. You likely need one if, in the last tax year, you were:

• Self-employed (sole trader) earning more than £1,000
• A limited company director
• A partner in a business partnership
• Receiving rental income
• Earning PAYE income above £100,000
• In receipt of income from savings, investments or dividends
• Claiming certain income tax reliefs
• Receiving Child Benefit with an income over £50,000
• Living or working abroad
• Sold assets such as shares or a second property

Not sure if you need to file? Get in touch and we’ll tell you within minutes.

Importance Of Getting Self-Assessment Right

For busy business owners and directors, Self Assessment is a minefield, as well as a time-consuming task. Common problems we see include:

• Missing the 31 January deadline and receiving an automatic £100 fine (even if you owe nothing)
• Underclaiming expenses, leaving money on the table you’re fully entitled to
• Errors in figures that trigger HMRC investigations
• Last-minute scrambles that lead to inaccurate returns.

The good news is, every one of these problems is entirely avoidable with the right Self Assessment accountant in your corner.

What We Do Differently

Most accountants will file your return and call it done. At Archimedia Accounts, that’s just the starting point.

Our founder Barbara (head of tax) brings over 30 years of personal tax experience, and they’ve applied that knowledge to their own substantial commercial and residential property portfolio. That real-world experience means they understand taxation services and theory but (perhaps, more importantly), they understand how business decisions, investments, and income structures interact with your tax position.

Here’s what you get when you work with a dedicated self assessment accountant at Archimedia:

• Accurate, HMRC-compliant filing – we handle everything from start to submission
• Proactive tax planning – we look for ways to reduce your tax bill, not just report it
• Year-round support – speak to us before big decisions, not after
• Deadline management – no missed filings or last-minute stress
• Plain-English advice – clear guidance without jargon

As experienced personal tax accountants based in Nottingham, we support sole traders, start-ups, small businesses, and limited company directors across the area. As your personal tax accountant, our job is to make sure your Self Assessment is handled properly and your tax position is as efficient as possible.
