Tax Return - HELP!

by Brian862107

Does anyone know of any good online tutorials/guides for filling out your self-assessment tax return? I don't know about you's but I hate filling out forms (they always ask you to tick a box to say the information you've put in is correct too!!)!

This is my first year filling out the self-assessment...

I'd include the 12th month.

While you're correct that the income fell into the 2018/19 tax year, you didn't declare it then, which is could trigger a fine and a penalty.
It probably won't, but you need to be very careful with your tax - getting on the wrong side of HMRC is a lifetime...

Reply to Tax Return - HELP!

by Brian862107

I've had a look over my rental statements and remembered the reason I have 11 months this tax year and not 12 was that the 1st month rental statement was on the 5th April 2019 (like one day before the 6th April 2019 tax year). I just want to confirm that this is correct or do I need to include the 5th...

jpkeates Thanks for the informative and quick reply. I didn't mean i'd charge for labour when doing repairs (might not be a lot for paint/shower or whatever i would need to buy but adds up but understand i'd keep receipts and add on form later as expense.) but your post is quite clear and think I've...

The electronic self assessment is fairly easy. If you're not doing this I would recommend you get it set up for next time. There are also explanatory notes as you go along. Just done mine, it must be the covid effect! Doesn't normally get done until after Christmas.

I get an accountant to complete my tax return.
It costs, but it's an allowable expense and it's worth it just to know that I'm keeping the tax I pay to a minimum.

You are taxed on your net income (which is rent less expenses - like the management fee and repairs), but you don't...

Reply to Returning from oversea landlord taxation

by jpkeates

When you began your new business you should have told HMRC.
They would have confirmed how they wanted you to complete your tax return.

If you get in touch now, they'll confirm what they want you to do.

Tax returns are based on the tax year, which runs from 6th April to...
