Self-service guides and FAQs

Did you know that there are a number of things that your TaxScouts accountant can help you expense on your tax return?

  • Mobile phone bill
  • Car cleaning
  • Parking fees
  • Car rental and petrol
  • Bank fees
  • Or a flat £1,000 Trading Allowance

No.

You only pay National Insurance for your:

  • employment income and
  • self-employment income

For anything else, like dividends, savings interest, foreign income, etc., you don’t need to pay National Insurance, only Income Tax.

Of course, if you wish to qualify for or increase your State Pension, you can always make voluntary National Insurance contributions.

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.

For example: you works as a restaurant waiter in the morning and drive an Uber in the evenings. You will have to file a tax return for your Uber income.

Your UTR number is a Unique Taxpayer Reference that you get when you register for Self Assessment.

It consists of 10 digits (sometimes with a letter K at the end) and is issued to you by HMRC.

Check out our guide to getting a UTR.

Yes.

We don’t just take you halfway there – TaxScouts is a complete tax return service:

  • We calculate your tax bill
  • We help you find and claim eligible expenses and tax allowances
  • And we actually file your personal tax return. All you need to do is approve it.

You will need to register with HMRC in order to do your Self Assessment, where you declare your untaxed income to HMRC. You need do this by 5th October online via HMRC, or we can do it for you for £25.

Once registered, you will be sent what’s known as a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number.
