Let’s get your tax return sorted today.

The UK tax year for personal tax returns goes from 6th April to 5th April. For example, the 2023/24 tax year starts on 6th April 2023, ends 5th April 2024 and you have to file and pay your tax bill by 31st January 2025.

If it’s your first time filing, you should make sure that you register for self assessment with HMRC (this basically means letting HMRC know that you’re earning untaxed income) by 5th October 2024.

Want to know more about the important dates to be aware of? We’ve got a guide on it. More tax dates can be found here.

Yes, you can message your assigned accountant through the TaxScouts platform whenever it suits you! Your accountant will reply to your message at their earliest convenience, which they usually do fairly quickly. 

You can also book in a separate 30-minute tax advice consultation call with your accountant for an additional fee. Otherwise, you can chat with them via the platform as much as you’d like. 

Of course, if you have any questions beforehand, our support team also is available to help you, free of charge.

Expenses are costs that you might be able to claim against your earnings so that you pay less tax.

What you can claim will depend on your situation, sources of income, and the tax-free allowances which you’re already claiming.

The two most common sources of income where it makes sense to claim expenses are for self-employment and rental income, but it is possible to claim certain expenses from other sources of income too. Read more about expenses.

We can!

If you use our tax returns service, your accountant will work to minimise any tax owed while preparing your tax return. They will use their expertise to claim relevant expenses, allowances and tax reliefs on your tax return.

We also run a one-off tax advice service where we can help you understand your UK personal tax situation. Whether you’re trying to find ways to reduce your tax bill, to improve your future financial position by making the most of relevant tax reliefs, and more – we can help you.
