Individuals in the UK with income over £100,000 or with income outside of employment e.g. with rental income or are self employed are required to file annual self assessment tax returns with HMRC. With a current marginal tax rate of 45%, it is important to ensure that you are full compliant with your tax filings as well as ensuring you are maximising any tax reliefs and/or exemptions available to pay the right amount of tax. This is particularly important to consider if you have overseas / non-UK sources of income / investments. We have provided an overview of some of our key services below and would be happy to have an initial consultation call to discuss your requirements and the support we can provide in further detail.
