The personal tax system operates in two ways; either you are in the Self Assessment system; or for the majority of people your tax is collected from your employment income.
What exactly is self-assessment? This is
how the Inland Revenue ensure that peoples tax affairs
are in order and that they have paid the right amount
of tax due dependent on their earnings.
Below is a list of the most typical professions and reasons for
people to receive Self Assessment Tax Returns.
|
|
- A company director
- An individual with complex tax affairs
- A partner or sole trader
- A higher rate tax payer (i.e. income of more than £39,825
gross for 2007/08 for a person under 65, who does not contribute
to a pension scheme) Please see our budget
booklet for the various tax rates that apply.
If you are issued with a notice to file a tax return by the Inland
Revenue then this must be submitted by the 31st January following
the end of the tax year. For example a return issued on 6th April
2007 for the 2006/07 tax year will need to be filed by 31st January
2008.
As the tax system becomes ever more complex for individuals with the constant changes to tax law it is becoming more difficult to complete your tax return without professional help and guidance.
