Personal Tax Return FAQs

What is a personal tax return in the UK?

A personal tax return is a form that individuals use to report their income, capital gains, and any other relevant financial information to HMRC. This process is known as Self Assessment. The tax return allows HMRC to calculate the individual’s tax liability for the tax year.

Why do I have to do a personal tax return?

There are many reasons why you might need to submit a personal tax return, including being self-employed or having undeclared income from renting a property.

What date do you get your personal tax return?

If you are filing your personal tax return by paper, it must be submitted by 31st October following the end of the tax year. For online submissions, your personal tax return must be filed by 31st January following the end of the tax year.

What information should I give my accountant to do my personal tax return?

While everyone’s circumstances are different, your tax return accountant will generally need the following information to prepare your personal tax return:

Employment details 
Pension income
Bank interest & dividends
Benefits 
Rental income
Pension contributions
Capital gains

If you are self-employed, you will need to provide further details for your personal tax return, such as a copy of your bank statements and invoices. 

Can I claim accountant fees on my personal tax return?

In the UK, individuals can claim tax deductions for expenses incurred during the course of their employment, or for the purpose of generating taxable income. This includes the fees paid to a tax return accountant for preparing and submitting personal tax returns.

Is it difficult to do your own personal tax return?

Personal tax returns can be incredibly time consuming. It’s also easy to make mistakes that result in you underpaying and incurring fines and charges later down the road. That’s why most individuals will choose to use a professional personal tax accountant to complete their tax returns.

How much can you earn before paying tax?

Will HMRC tell me if I need to do a personal tax return?


During April or May each year, HMRC will issue a notice to file to everyone who needs to send a personal tax return. 

If you have recent income that has not been taxed at source, or not taxed at the correct rate, you are required to inform HMRC within six months of the end of the tax year in which the income was received. HMRC will then send you a notice to file a personal tax return, either by post or electronically.
