Self-employed (zero) tax return

Those who work as self-employed in Great Britain, must submit tax returns to Great Britain tax authority every year. Paper tax returns have to be submitted by October 31 while electronically-filed tax returns must be submitted by January 31.

Anual tax return must be submitted even if you have registered as self-employed but did not work in Great Britain or traveled abroad and did not inform Great Britain tax authority. In such cases, you should submit zero tax return. Great Britain Tax authority will impose a penalty for late filling. The penalty for being late one month is 100 GBP and it increases every month. The penalty may reach 1300 GBP if tax return is not submitted in a year.

We may help you to fill out tax return forms, cancel or reduce penalties for late filling.
