FAQs

Q Do I need an accountant for my tax return?

While it’s possible to file a tax return yourself, using an accountant ensures accuracy, helps you claim all allowable expenses, and reduces the risk of HMRC penalties. Our tax services give you peace of mind and often save you money in the long run.

Q How much does a tax advisor cost in the UK?

Tax advisor fees in the UK vary depending on the complexity of your case. At The Accounting People, we offer transparent pricing with tailored packages to suit individuals and businesses, and your first consultation is free.

Q When is the tax return deadline?

The deadline for online Self Assessment tax returns is 31 January following the end of the tax year. For paper returns, it’s 31 October. We recommend starting early to avoid penalties and last-minute stress.

Q What do your tax services include?

Our tax services cover Self Assessment tax returns, corporation tax filings, capital gains tax reporting, tax planning, support with HMRC enquiries, and more. Whether you’re an individual, landlord, contractor, or growing business, we tailor our support to your needs.

Q How do I get started with your tax services?

Simply reach out and tell us what you need help with, personal, business, or HMRC-related. Use our quick form on the Contact Us page, and one of our tax advisors will get back to you within 1 working day.

Q What information do I need to provide for a tax return?

Typically you’ll need your UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference), NI number, income records (employment, self-employment, rental, dividends), expense receipts, pension or benefit statements, and capital gains details if relevant. Don’t worry, we’ll send you a checklist so nothing gets missed.

Q Can you help if I’ve received a letter from HMRC?

Yes. We regularly support clients through HMRC enquiries, compliance checks, and disputes. Send us the correspondence as soon as possible and we’ll review it, respond on your behalf where authorised, and guide you through next steps.

Q Can I switch accountants mid-year?

Absolutely. We can contact your previous accountant (with your permission), request the necessary handover information, and pick up your records so your tax filings stay on track. Switching is easier than most people expect.

Q I’m a director of my own limited company, do I need to file both personal and company tax returns?

Yes. Your company files a corporation tax return (CT600), and you personally may need a Self Assessment to report salary, dividends, and other income. We manage both to ensure everything aligns and you’re not overpaying tax.

Q How long should I keep my tax records?

HMRC generally recommends keeping business and tax records for at least 5 years after the 31 January submission deadline for that tax year (longer if there are ongoing enquiries or special circumstances). Good record-keeping protects you in the event of a review.
