Personal Tax

Anyone who is a director of a Limited Company or who has income, other than salary which has PAYE and NI deducted at source, is required to submit a Self Assessment Personal Tax return (SA100). This is regardless of whether you have been sent a Self Assessment Personal Tax return from HMRC.

The deadlines for submission are 31 October if you are submitting a paper return and 31 January if you are submitting your Self Assessment Personal Tax return online. You will need a Unique Tax Reference (UTR) number in order to submit your Personal Tax Return online.

1st Contact Accounting offer exceptional rates for Personal Tax Returns, especially if you are already an Accounting client. Your Self Assessment tax return relates to your personal tax and is therefore distinct and separate from any company accounting. As such, it must be undertaken and paid for in your personal capacity.

Contact us today for a low cost and very efficient service.

1st Contact also offers detailed Personal Tax planning for individuals and companies.

Limited Companies

There are two main advantages to running a Limited Company: the tax advantages and the limited liability.

Generally speaking, a Limited Company is the tax structure better suited to those who are self employed and expect to invoice amounts that exceed the higher tax threshold. For those who do not fall into either of these categories or who prefer a less demanding and time consuming package, we also offer attractive alternatives in the form of our Umbrella service.

1st Contact is able to offer expert advice as to whether it would be more beneficial for you to incorporate your own Limited Company, or if an alternative tax vehicle would be more appropriate for you depending on your personal circumstances.

Whatever your circumstances we are certain that we will be able to point you in the right direction and provide a solution that gives the greatest tax and lifestyle advantage.
If you are in any doubt, contact us for a full evaluation.
