Self Assessment Tax Returns

Tax Returns for the 2009/2010 tax year are due to be submitted to Inland Revenue by the 31st of October 2010 if you choose to submit a paper return or the 31st of January 2011 for online submissions.


What is Self Assessment?

Income Tax can be collected in a number of different ways depending on the type of income and your employment status. Self Assessment is one of the ways in which tax is collected.

Self assessment tax returns are issued in April each year and cover the year from the previous 6 April to 5 April. For example, the 2009/2010 tax year covers the period from 6 April 2009 to 5 April 2010.

Typically, a professional accountant online works individually without leaving his or her house yet is hired and is capable of delivering the best results after completing the transactions on the web. Despite working with these experts constantly, you may not get the chance to meet or talk to them personally because you often transact with them over the Internet.
