Self Assessment and personal tax compliance

Self assessment for individuals has been with us for ten years now, although the term 'self assessment' is proving to be one of the greatest misnomers of all time. The Tax Return Guide to assist you complete the 2007 Return runs to 36 pages – so much for “Tax doesn’t have to be Taxing”!!

It is estimated that around nine million tax returns were issued last year and of those approaching one million were late. Now bear in mind that there are penalties and interest implications should a late return show that a tax liability remains outstanding; so you can see that this is a lucrative source of income for the Government.

To help you avoid these unnecessary costs and to allow you to spend your time more profitably, we manage the whole tax return process; from targeted reminders to obtain and keep the necessary information at the end of the fiscal year, to the actual preparation of the return, prior to online filing via our market-leading software suite. We will also provide tax saving tips that may become apparent whilst dealing with your self-assessment affairs.

However our service doesn’t stop there as we monitor your statements of account to ensure you have paid the right amount of tax, at the right time. Also, should your return be selected for enquiry, our experienced in–house tax team will be able to deal with HM Revenue & Customs on your behalf and minimise the worry such an approach brings.

More more information please contact your local Lambert Chapman office asking for the tax department.
