6th April sees the start of the 2022/23 tax year and for those people who need to complete Self Assessment Tax Returns you can now start thinking about completing your 2021/22 tax return (rather than leaving it until the 31st January 2023 deadline!)
Who needs to complete a Self Assessment Tax Return?
There are a number of reasons why people need to complete tax returns.
These include if you:
- Are self-employed as a ‘sole trader’ and earned more than £1,000
- Are a partner in a business partnership
- Receive rental income from land or property
- Receive more than £10,000 in dividends or interest
- Earn more than £100,000
- Earn more than £50,000 and you/your partner claim Child Benefit
The deadline for completing a Self Assessment Return for 2021/22 isn’t until 31 January 2023, so why think about it now?
There are a number of benefits of completing your return early including if you:
- are due a repayment, you get the money sooner!
- owe tax, you have certainty of what you have to pay and so can save up if necessary
- are thinking of buying a new home, then your mortgage company will want to see your return.
You also can stop worrying about it and tick it off your to do list!
