Tax returns are required by HM Revenue & Customs for the purpose of establishing the tax liability of individuals, partnerships and companies.

Completion of tax returns is part of our standard compliance service and is combined with providing the appropriate set of annual accounts required to accompany the return.

The most common tax returns required are as follows:

SA100 Self Assessment
SA800 Partnership
CT600 Corporation Tax

SA100 Self Assessment Return
This return is primarily completed by individuals, from whom a return is required, and has to be submitted to HM Revenue & Customs by 31st October each year (if filed in paper format) or by 31st January the following year (if filed by Internet).
The basic form is quite simple to complete for tax payers who's affairs are straightforward. However, depending on your circumstances there is a range of supplementary pages and it is with these that the task of completion can become quite daunting.
For example a self-employed individual will need to complete supplementary pages that relate to their business activity. The turnover of the business will determine which version of the return has to be completed (short or full).
For self employed individuals who keep their own accounting records, we can assist, subject to those records being sufficient, in completion of this return.
The annual accounts of the business, together with the tax computation are usually submitted with this return.

SA800 Partnership Return
This return has to be completed by individuals who work in partnership with one or more other persons. This is a common business structure in the UK and a favourite with many disciplines, including solicitors, accountants, construction contractors and many other small business enterprises.
The return is straightforward to complete once the annual accounts have been compiled. The return then provides the information required for each partner's SA100 Self Assessment return.
The annual accounts of the business are submitted to HM Revenue & Customs with this return.
The filing date of the partnership return is 31st October of the tax year to which it relates. Unlike the SA100 HM Revenue & Customs do not provide a method of filing the partnership return by Internet. However there is commercial software available, usually used by accountants, enabling the return to be filed up to 31st January of the following year.
